Good sailplanes for tall pilots?

As for chutes, since I don't intend to fly in competitions and the Grob hasn't had the AD mod to be flown acro, I feel no urgent need to get one.

OT: That's like saying you don't wear seatbelts in your car because you don't intend to have an accident.

Funny how some countries mandate chute wear in gliders. Wonder what they know that we don't...

But I'm being a hypocrite - when I fly club ships I only wear a chute when doing acro. Since I usually only fly the club ships to give rides and the club doesn't have a chute for the passenger, I don't wear mine. But in my glider? Every time; even for a pattern tow.

BOT: You might try an LS3/4/8/6. Lots of rudder pedal adjustment. Ventus Bs also have long cockpits - and the Cirrus is the same shape, I believe?

Good luck with your search!
