Re; will I fit?

[Andy Davey]

I'd disagree with the DG100 rating. I'm also 6'4' and
in the fat B@#$%^d category, with long legs, big feet,
and shortish torso.
I tried one once, and had probs with canopy, and also
footspace(nose too narrow)
It did have a sheepskin seat cover though, which may
have made a bit of difference.
I gather the DG101 was a bit wider

If a G102 is a tight fit, then to be honest, EVERYTHING
is going to be 'snug'!
I did my 5 hours in a K6cr(but couldn't walk properly
for 3 days afterwards...)
The DG500(2 seater) is also very tight in the front
seat if you haven't got feet like a Geisha girl...

I flew my first, and probably last, flight in a G102 a couple of weeks
ago. I found it uncomfortable and my head was hard on the canopy.
The ASW 19 and the ASW 28 both have more head room and are much more
comfortable for my build. I also fit the LS 8 comfortably. No chance
of getting in an SH "a" model though!

I know in some Grob models the retractable gear steals headroom so for
clarification this was a retractable not a club G102.

I'm 6' 2'' with a long torso and slim.
