Hi please can someone help.

I am looking to find a suitable aircraft/club for a male ab initio
with no prior experience.
However he is 6'4 and 231lbs (16.5 stone) though medium build. and I
am uncertain that he will be able to fit into the front of a K13 for
instruction.

I'm 6'1, but rather thin and 've learnt to fly on a K21. It's
comfortable because of the lieing position. But buy yourself some
slender sneakers if you 've also got big feet, because longer pilots
have to adjust their pedals to a position, where the fuselage is getting
smaller and smaller.

I know some glider pilots which are as tall as you and I rather belive
they have learnt it on a 21 as well. Also thicker people fit well into
the K21.

Does anyone know of anyone of similar height and build that has learnt
to fly a glider and if so was it a K13/21 etc?

Thanks
