Default Commodious Sailplane?

I am about the same, a little heavier. I have flown all schweizer
products, Nimbus 3 and Pegasus, both of those without seat pans. Also
LS-4, Standard Cirrus.

Sit before you buy.

Identical proportions - well same mass and length fits nicely in a Std
Cirrus, and Kestrel.

ASK21 and Grob 103 are also comfortable enough, if not neccessarily what
you are looking for.
