Loved and cared for meticulously since 2015. Great cross country glider with low time, excellent instruments and a well maintained all metal Cobra trailer (though the handbrake is inop). It has a very roomy and comfortable cockpit and the light wings make it very easy to rig (and the ship includes a 1-man-rigger).
The aircraft has remained in the trailer (with dehumidifier) since purchased. The horizontal stabilizer was refinished in Poly in 2018 and is in great shape. The rest of the glider is gelcoat and has been sanded and preserved well, but as is typical the finish does show light crazing (though it has remained in very good condition and is not detectable to touch in most areas).

Additional note: On either side of the fuselage behind pilots head there are two cosmetic cracks (in a polyurethane coating that was applied by the first owner to profile aerodynamics around the wing-root). These cracks have been inspected by A&P and have not changed at all in the years I've owned the aircraft and do not carry through to the glass fiber, they are cosmetic only.
