I disagree. Hornet, Mosquito, and Club Libelle are all very roomy and comfortable (I'm 6'2" or 188cm). Standard Libelle maybe a squeeze.

Glasfluegel machines were also very sound designs, and very advanced for their time - and self connect, no L'hotellier fittings. I'm a fan of Glasfluegel.

Go for the astir or cirrus, most of the glasflugel machines are narrow in
the fuse, beautiful sailplanes though.

Thank you all for the advice. So what I'm looking at is a "standard" glass
glider. I'm 6ft (183 cm)
with fairly wide shoulders so I want to fit in ok too.

Could anyone who knows of actual gliders for sale like this please let me
know about them?

Thanks,

Greg.

Hi Greg.

For $20,000 i would recommend something like a standard cirrus. Cirrus's
perform well and are still very competitive in competition flying. They
have a very good handicap. I wouldn't rule out an Astir CS/77
either.Just my thoughts
