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



Being 2.01m myself, here's my list of gliders that I fit in:

ASW-19/20/Pegase (very comfortable with seatback removed)
ASW-24 (special chute required - Kohnke Paeckchen)
ASW-27 (special chute required, seatback removed)
ASW-28 (special chute required, seatback removed)

DG-300/600/800 (very comfortable)

Ventus c
Discus b
Discus 2b (very comfortable)
Ventus 2b (very comfortable)
Nimbus 2 (very comfortable)
Janus/Duo Discus/Numbus 3D/4D front seat (comfortable)

LS-3/4 (very comfortable)
LS-6/7/8 (long enough, but a little narrow for my taste)




Choose one...



Bye
Andreas
