Glider cockpit size

Try an HPH Shark... It probably has the most roomy cockpit out there...
6'4" will fit ok... Craig

Discus-2b and Ventus-2b should be comfortable up to ~6'5" with
a normal chute. Genesis is also roomy, but not many around or for
sale. A lot depends on your wallet, experience level, and what you
are trying to accomplish. Most of the older gliders were not built
with a 6'4" pilot in mind. The Discus-2b and Ventus-2b fuselages
were the first where Schempp-Hirth said that they wanted to design
a cockpit which almost anyone could get into comfortably. Other
manufacturers have gradually over time enlarged the insides of
their cockpits in order for taller people to fit as well.

Most glider seat belt attachment fittings are the limiting factors
for weight in the seat. For most, the max weight is 242 Lbs or
110 Kg.

You will probably get a bunch of other suggestions from this forum.

Good luck...
