Default Schempp-Hirth 2a/2b cockpit fit vs ASW-20?

PS. I had to have the winch hook removed.

The 2b is close size wise but still a bit smaller/less comfortable
than the asw-20.


5'10 and 180 pounds is about maximum for the "a" cockpits. Fitting
requires personal adjustment. Not all the fancy stuff like seat backs
and side vents.

If the goal is racing the "a" is nice, for everyday flying and resale
the "b" is better.
