Met a German pilot last week who is 7 feet tall, touring North America
with his 26E !!!! He modified the rudder pedals, made special
instrument panel (space for knees), replaced the factory seat pan, and
modified the parachute harness so the chute sits on a shelf above his
shoulders. Not your standard ship, eh? -- but it shows what
determination and skills can do.

This is the third design he has modified. He says the resale value (to
TALL pilots) is excellent.

Hi Caiuz,

Why not try a LS4? It has about the same performance and is more fun to fly
in my opinion. The cockpit is quite large and should be no problem.

Regards, Erik.

Hi,

which european medium/high performance glider would you reccommend for
tall people?
I am ~6.5 / 199cm and looking to buy something like a Discus but
apparently cockpit is supersmall

Any suggestions?

Many Tks
