As we say he "passen is een kwestie van willen" ("to fit is a matter of _wanting_ to fit") ;-) André who's pretty tall and has trouble fitting into a number of gliders... Excuse me, but at 6'2" I CANNOT WILL TO BE SMALLER. Your response reinforces my sense of denial on the part of SOME of the glider manufacturers. Another aspect of the Dianna to carefully checkout is who is qualified to repair the damn things once they break. The factory is EXTREMELY protective of any construction details -- as of the last convention there are no qualified repair depots in the U.S. Personally, I would defer any purchase of the glider until this glaring deficiency is rectified.
