I'm just under 6ft but once had a Ventus B (same fuse as the Discus B
or CS) and had to pull the rudder pedals back and put cushions behind me to fit well with a parachute on. You might find someone with one and see you can fit. Also, the PIK20D78 has a longer/larger fuse than the other PIK20 models. See if you can find one of those to try on for size as well. Even try taking out the seatback to make more room if it is possible to do so. Good luck! At my size I feel too tall for many gliders when wearing a chute. You are just going to try on gliders until you find one that fits..... Then find one to buy!
