My first glider.  Loved the fuse, broke the wing on the third hand tow, ( boy was I ahead of my time, hand towed in the early 70's because I couldn't afford a HiStart).  I cut out the broken center and it made a pretty good 2M, for the 70's.  Just make sure you check the washout before you fly, the covering can really warp the wings if it hasn't taken a set yet.  I used to cover the plane, then put it in the car for a couple of sunny days, then re-tune the washout.
