Hi, New to this forum, thought I 'd pose a question..... I have a glider

from years ago, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a list of gliders

are more "roomy" inside since I am 6'4" . I am planning on going to the
SSA
convention in Reno in 2018 to check out the new stuff....I've sat in an SZD

55, that's about it.... Thanks


I'm not sure if anyone mentioned these budget gliders, but I'm 6'4", slim with long legs, and I fit perfectly inside Jantar Standard 2 and 3, Ok with special cushions in Russia AC-5M, well inside Baby Grob and Blanik L33. DG-100, DG-300 (and DG-808) are also great for me. Standard Cirrus is OK, but needs a slim parachute and little mod to the instrument panel. Open Cirrus is similar.
