Good evening,

I need some assistance!

I am an early solo pilot looking to buy my first glider, but don't
really
know what to go for! I want it for local soaring, but eventually to
go
cross country in it.

The slight issue is that I am 6`4 tall and 17.5 stone - arguably
too heavy,
but the question is what to go for.

I'll obviously need a roomy cockpit!

Any thoughts would be appreciated!


Astir should be fine for your height, I am not sure about its max
load though.
