What glider will fit a 6' 7" giant?

Recommend your friend try a test-sit in a Genesis 2. With the rudder pedals full forward, seat back removed I have seen a 6' 4" (250#'er) fit in OK. With the ballistic chute option, the roger latch could be removed. With the nose down, It is very easy to get into with a low canopy rail. I have owned my Genesis for 7 years and 800+ hours and just love the old girl. I added leg support padding to make it sit like an LS-3/4 and it is comfortable for 7+ hour flights. JJ
