Wide shoulders and/or a long torso are problems in the Libelle. If you
have long legs and are relatively slim, you will fit in the Libelle just
fine. Best to have a thin packback chute like a National. Use the
minimum seat cushioning you are comfortable with. Libelle's have lots of
leg room. The rudder pedals adjust pretty far forward.

All the 201 Libelles that I have seen have the "high" canopy. I have
both the high and low "racing" canopies for my 301. The high canopy
provides significantly more headroom (although I fly with the low canopy
because it looks so kewl).
