I'm 185cm (6'1") and am flying a glasglugel Hornet with the pedals back a couple of notches. I would think 199cm should be tolerable. This all started by sitting in other club members gliders until I found an airframe that suited me. Thankfully, I had a chance to sit in someone's 304. :) In full disclosure, I never felt tight with my height having made it through the ASW-15, 19, 20 along with one or two others but my width was always a show stopper. Good luck!!!
