Average height is preferred. Poor eyesight / hearing & you'll never qualify! Maths is a prerequisite as well, but study study the requirement and you'll get through.
It interesting to note after I qualifed, not once in years of flying choppers - did I have need of the symbolic maths qualification!

There are height requirements, although its not anything a "normal" person has to worry about. Although I don't know what the actual max and min heights are, I went to flight school with some pretty short and tall guys, so unless you're under 5'4" or taller than 6'6", don't worry about it.
You've gotta have at least 20/50 vision correctable to 20/20, absolutely no color blindness, you can't have bad hearing (usually only pertains to former infantry/artillery guys that are partial deaf) and that's about it. The flight physical isn't hard to pass as long as you don't have anything major wrong with you physically or mentally like, diabetes, heart problems, asthma, dyslexia, depression etc.

I saw tall guys, I saw not so tall guys with wings. Not sure what the requirements of the flight Physical are but if you can find that for the civilian side add no glasses and weight within the range for your height.
Being too tall is probably more a problem than being 5'2"

Lack of intelligence would probably hinder you.
To find out qualifications for any military job go ask a recruiter. Asking a bunch of Internet-junkies is like asking a 3rd-grader to do Algebra.
Common sense is a requirement for any military job.

Don't think there's a height requirement, but eyesight is a big one, along with colorblindness (that's bad). For the military you need a high enough GT score.

yes I believe there is a sitting height requirement. Other than that just your vision, you have to have 20/20 vision or be correctable to 20/20 and you cant be red green color blind.

Yes! people over 8 feet tall are not allowed, their heads get chopped off all the time.
