What glider will fit a 6' 7" giant?
Maybe not - I am only 6'3" + 240lb - relatively long legs relative to
total height.
Std Cirrus is comfortable.
Kestrel T59D is more than big enough for legs and torso length - but
that 44" chest...
The Kestrel is narrow at elbow height - so if you are barrel chested
like me, or the chest has slipped a little, like me, it can be somewhat
tight.
On the Cirrus the width is OK, and the leg length good, but I have
relatively little head clearance with a parachute on.
YMMV - the geometry is too complex to make generalisations - there is
simply no substitute for getting in and doing some hangar flying.

Glasfulgel or Slingsby Kestrel is a good possibility. The Glasflugel
604 is even bigger, but only 10 of those were built.
