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.


Well, 6'2" is not that tall, not in my book that is. It's only 1.87meters,
which is considdered average down here. I'm 1.96 (about 6'5"), and I have
flying friends even taller (about 2 m, or over 6'7"). We both use this
adagium. Sure, it does mean you have to be willing to fold yourself into a
tiny cockpit, but there are few gliders that really don't fit.
But, did you miss the smiley?

who's Zugvogel IIIb has lots of room for him


You can do all the folding that you please (for 5-6 hours!), but you
still have to close the canopy!

PS: DON'T buy a glider that you don't fit COMFORTABLY in- YOU'LL BE
SORRRY!!!
