I'm 1 76 tall and weighed in at around 105 kg when I flew my LS1 d.
lots of room in there but getting in and out with the fixed panel was a
skill that I would not like to repeat in a hurry. I think the LS 1 f's
had a modern style lifting canopy however.

Go look!

That's right, but the cockpit is smaller too. Cockpits of LS1 -0 to -e are
much roomier.

You don't say which Version of the Ls1 you're looking
at, i have a 1F and find it a real pain 1.85m and 100kg.
I can and do fit on most things, but the 1F is the
only real squeeze for me

From Martin's posts elsewhere it's an LS1d, which has
a somewhat larger cockpit than the -f.

Martin,

I am 183cm tall, and I am comfortable in the cockpit of my LS1c.
However, I am quite a bit lighter at 80kg. Make sure you are within the
load limit if you are 100kg.

A friend who is 191cm and about 95kg was able to fly my LS1c. I'm sure
you will fit, length-wise.

Regards
tf

191.
