Cockpit Size and Comfort

I am looking to purchase a new (to me) XC ship. Which ones have the largest/roomiest cockpit? Not for a tall person, one with broad shoulders, about 5'9 and 200lbs. Discuss and Thank you in advance! Probably best avoided if you are big across the shoulders are the LS gliders especially 6, 7 or 8 as they are quite tight. The LS4 is a bit better. Schempp- Hirth and Schleicher gliders generally better (except S-H A models which are very narrow, even worse than LS6/7/8,) Regards, Roy

Cockpit Size and Comfort
Mike, I am similar dimensions to you. I fit fine in a Std Jantar but super tight in an LS6. It's comfortable when flying but I am in solid contact with each shoulder.
I have yet to try a Schempp or Schleicher glider but will be pestering some club members when I get a chance. Cheers Ben
