A giant for a glider

I am very very close to your student's size and weight. I have no
problem fitting in an ASK-21 front or rear, although I prefer the
rear. I've never flown an ASK-13. I fly an LS-3a and have the rudder
pedals one notch back from full forward. I would remove my seatback if
I could but the shoulder belts are attached to the seatback bracket.
Regardless, I still am able to wear a Wedge Softie parachute.

All the best,
Steve

Hi please can someone help.

I am looking to find a suitable aircraft/club for a male ab initio
with no prior experience.
However he is 6'4 and 231lbs (16.5 stone) though medium build. and I
am uncertain that he will be able to fit into the front of a K13 for
instruction.
Does anyone know of anyone of similar height and build that has learnt
to fly a glider and if so was it a K13/21 etc?

Thanks

I am 6'3" and 250 lbs wear a size 50 coat, have owned, Schweizer 1-34,
1-35, Pegasus (seat pan out), Nimbus 3 (seat pan out) have flown ASH
25, Ventus 2, LS-4, K-21, Grob, K-8, standard Cirrus and numerous
other aircraft, best idea is go to a large club and sit in some.
