Good sailplanes for tall pilots?
I'm 6'2", 220lbs, my standard cirrus fits me well with a strong 303 chute and a two inch backrest pad. Less than $20k and good factory support, I like it a lot.
Good lift, Scott.

Mosquito, Jantar & Pik-20 have enormous cockpits.
I'm 6-3 and fit in the above with room to spare. Nick.

DG 100/101 ( 1 piece canopy) or 300...
Roomy cockpit, reclined position. A friend of mine about your size fit well into his DG 100, without a chute though, and it had the 2 piece canopy...
