You would probably fit into a Pik-20, but the question then becomes "Can I
fly it?" Pik-20's are easy and fairly docile to fly but a bit tricky on
takeoff and landing -- relatively easy to ground loop. Also near neutral
stability hands off (and delightfully light stick forces hands on).

om...
I am 6'3" 205 lbs. and currently shopping for a sailplane. I fit OK in
the SGS-1-26, 2-33, Puchacz and can squeeze into a Grob 102 with about
1/2" of clearance to the canopy.
What about Libelle, ASW-15b, DG100, Standard Cirrus, Jantus B ? You
know, all of those "other" sailplanes.
Any and all responses appreciated.
Thanks,
Clark
