What do you think of KA 6CR?

I've flown a K6Cr - 6'1", 180 lbs, 33" inside leg. I was an exact fit.
Lovely glider to fly, but had I been much bigger I don't think I could
have managed it.

However, if you're long bodied, rather than long legged, you might be
OK. Same issue for the weight - if it's on your shoulders you might not
fit, if lower down you could be fine!

Maybe you could find one locally and ask the owner if you could sit in it?

I've flown a K6E and I'm 6' and fitted in fine. I thought of buying a
CR off a friend, but they just said I wouldn't fit, so didn't even sit
in it - try a K6E apparently they are bigger.

I'm looking for an inexpensive sailplane & see a few KA 6CR's for
sale, all
including enclosed trailer for around $7,000. A 1-26 would have been
OK, but
there aren't any right now. I'm not sure I'd fit in a KA 6 at 6'3" & over
200 lb. Also; how about maintaining a wooden sailplane? Does one need
to be
a woodworker to keep the KA 6CR flying?
