Derek,
How many hours do you have in PW5?

Fortunately, none!

I've flown one once. Its quite pleasant to fly but noticeably lower
performance than a Junior. The only vice I was warned about was a
tendency to PIO on aero tow takeoffs if you raise the nose too fast too
soon, but I didn't find that a problem. I don't feel too good about
being seen getting out of one (I think they are ugly) but I was a
visitor and needed to fly it to get a crack at the club's Libelle. I'd
always wanted to fly a Libelle and it was well worth the preliminaries.
