Default RE: Designed a Balsa DLG

Same visual situation here, so may be making a few inappropriate remarks, for can't tell all that well as to what am looking at.

Am working with Dean at Steelhead on his H.L.G. which is about to go into production. He is using a solid foam wing. The situation with a solid wing is that it allows for a better place to grab on and launch then. Now, how or where do you intend to grab onto this glider, that is without puncturing the covering? I do not see too sturdy of finger hold places at the wing tip.

Then too, what is being done to stabilise the Hoz-stab on to the fuselage body (stick)? Ought to be a few fillets type parts to consider here where they come together also. Otherwise, Oops, broke that off.
