I fly a Kestrel 19. Large cockpit and good weight loading.

I'm 6'3", weigh 240 lbs and then wear a parachute. No problem!


I'm only 6'0" and under 15 stone, but I fit in a Jantar cockpit with lots of room to spare. Poles are not known for being a svelte people! The Genesis is probably the largest glider cockpit I have ever seen and you would certainly fit in it.
