Hi,
*after a hiatus of nearly 20 years I'd like to start soaring again
only this time I'm carrying a few extra pounds. Having decided on this
last year I started working on the weight in Jan and am down to 230lb
in boxers though I am continuing work on it.
*As I start to look for a club can anyone point to gliders that can
handle taller (6') people with larger front seat max weights so I can
look for clubs with them? I'm located in south west PA so if anynoe
knows a club with a bigger ship within a few hours that can help that
would be great.

*Cheers.

Look at the SSA Where to Fly map for opportunities. Click on each one
to examine the fleet. Any with a G103, 2-33, L-13, or L-23 should
work IF they have a light instructor. Wear light shoes. You appear
to have maybe 6-7 options within a 150 mile radius.
