Americans are now too heavy and/or too tall to fit in either the Ka-7 or
ASK-13. We have a number of members who barely fit in the Blanik.
Luckily, we have an instructor who is relatively light.

Maybe flight instructors should resemble jockeys!

We've found this to be an increasing problem. We have two K13s. One
has had the front panel cut away at the bottom and it is the only one
that a number of taller members can fit in and have proper rudder
control. The young are becoming heavier, but even more are becoming taller.

Our Puchacz is the best for fitting all heights but it still has the
110kg limit.
