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

convention in Reno in 2018 to check out the new stuff....I've sat in an SZD

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


HPH 304, I am 6' 3" and with the seat back out was just right. If at all posable try one out with a selection of chutes, the one I ended up with was not the one I expected. Flew it for 17 years and loved it. Recently made a major upgrade, and am now flying an ASH-31. It is the first glider that I have flown where I could put the pedals too far forward to reach. So lots of leg room, not as much shoulder room, but not too tight (in the summer)..
