Good starting question! Yes as a habit now I will add enough nose to get all the radio equipment ahead of the main former (leading edge) and route my pushrods along the extreme outside of the fuse. Under the wing saddle if at all possible. Reason being to leave as large and easy access for a ballast system. It may be a entry level glider, in the books, but I'm sure it can be used as a learning tool in regards to the benifits of ballast. The neverending learning curve, Gliders from youth to grave.
The balsa nose block gets changed out to a piece of spruce (off of a 2x4) won't show the roadside gravel landings as much. If there is a driveway into the site, I can count on skidding accross it!
If using HS 81 spread them as needed to get the pushrods apart. Oh ya I always use 1/16 music wire full length, lots of cross braces 1/16 plywood strips. Reason being, the long plastic pushrods change length expansion, contraction, as you go up,down, in,out of thermals etc. The temp change makes for constant trim changes with plastic. Somebody will jump in and say buy carbon fiber, etc. Hard to get me to change unless I can do a 2ch glider for less that $.90 !
I did a full house Olympic 99 20 years ago. Part of the learning curve, Great place to set-up my first J.R. 347 computor radio. This is your build, if it were mine, then 3 bay spoilers 1", if you are keeping it light. Try spoilers sometime if not on this bird.
I have been watching your excitement with your Radian, RES Riser 100 sounds super good for this summer. (electric assist fuse this winter for the same wing?)

-Enjoy it man any way you carve it up -your hooked-
