Marc:

When I had my "C" model I punched in at 230# ( before the chute) and
5'10" and real broad at the shoulders and hip and I fit it just fine.
There was no way that I could even get in a Libelle or any other
narrow cockpit. Had no trouble in the LS6-C, SGS 1-35, Mosquito, Pik
20, Open Cirrus, Blanik, etc, etc. We are not talking about weight
issues just size. Don't have that problem any more lost a bunch of
weight so can fit anything, almost - Libelle is still too narrow at
the shoulders, can't operate the spoilers without bsckhanding the
handle.

An LS6 has a good size cockpit?? Surely you jest...
