If you're near the upper weight limit, you'll also need to add tail
ballast if you want to fly with a slightly aft cg, and the centerline
loading will be relatively high whenever you fly. You need a glider
with a large, comfortable cockpit and a very strong wing and landing
gear. The Genesis 2 wing failed in testing at 19 g's assuming a 310
Lb. pilot/equipment load. In turbulent air or high speed you won't
have that nagging fear in the back of your mind. At 6-5/250 you would
fit into a Genesis although you would be near the upper limit for the
max. landing weight of 807Lbs. and the max. weight of all non-lifting
parts of 531Lbs. With the Genesis, the ultimate design limit load is
one helluva lot larger than the placard limit load, and the seat limit
load of 242 requires tail ballast if it is exceeded. 242 is not the
limit. If you are large and you want to fly without a nagging fear of
snapping wings look into the Genesis 2, Marske Pioneer 3 (if they ever
finish it) or Bob K's HP-24. The LAK 17/19 also have very strong wing
spars but I don't know how large the cockpit is.
Yes Yes Yes.....
I toured TSA and literally fell into a 1-26 cockpit. I'm 6-4/250
and was quite suprised at the room. It also has a high enough seat
limit to get my fat chuted butt snapped in. Rental rate REALLY reasonable.

I managed to wedge myself into a PW-5, and I'm sure that I could have flown
it if I used enough vaseline, and didn't need to move the stick, or wiggle
the rudder,
or look anywhere but straight ahead, or......................
