As a single seater consider the Lak 12 ,a bear to rig if you don't have the rigging gear but is a huge cockpit and a max placarded weight 140kg - 150kg without tailballast.and 50/1 ld I would guess you do not have much experience/knowledge of the LAK 12. It is not 'a bear to rig', just very heavy like all gliders of it's type; the cockpit is in fact small, both in length and height, and it is not as wide as it looks due to the intrusion of the undercarriage and flap rods. Anybody who reaches the max cockpit load is likely to be very uncomfortable. It also has no facility for tailballast. In answer to john's original question; look at say std cirrus or nimbus 2. Iwould think the limiting issue is likely to be maximum cockpit load rather than your height or other dimension |
