I'm 6'1, but rather thin and 've learnt to fly on a K21. It's
comfortable because of the lieing position. But buy yourself some
slender sneakers if you 've also got big feet, because longer pilots
have to adjust their pedals to a position, where the fuselage is getting
smaller and smaller.
I know some glider pilots which are as tall as you and I rather belive
they have learnt it on a 21 as well. Also thicker people fit well into
the K21.
