The design looks fantastic.
And just as much as this is a chance to enjoy the actual design I have to commend you on the detailed building pictures. This thread could easily be used as a great example of how to construct a balsa model of similar structure for a glider as well as a power model. The use of jigs and tabs in the construction being so general.

Finishing details:
Final weight:
Nose lead weight added!
But the wing loading is 17 gr./dm2, very low for this kind of glider and construction method.
