Lovely glider. I have owned a fair few of them in the past. X-country is
possible, but slow, of course. But they are a cheap and delightful way to
fly.

Glue issues have been mentioned. They tend to be more profound on kit-built
gliders, gliders that have seen little maintenance and lots of outdoors
use, and the pre 1964/65 examples for some reason. A full BGA-inspection
would be a very big plus.

Other things to watch for:
- Cracks in the lower rudder hinge flanges that bolt it to the vertical
spar
- Corrosion on/in the lower fuselage tube, especially around the tail skis
and at the Y-joint behind the wheel
- Disbonding of the joint attaching the root D-nose of the elevator to the
elevator D-nose skins (there's a three-yearly mandatory AD on this)
- Symmetry of the elevator drive in the fuselage (base of the vertical
stabilizer), there's a yearly AD on this
- Welds on the middle elevator attachment hinge (three-yearly AD)
- Play on the front and aft fuselage-to-wings pins
- Cracks in the welds of the rudder pedals (hinge tube to vertical tube)

Sounds like a long list, but it is not. Very durable glider. Enjoy!
