Use Vfrmap.com for Usa charts, I use Skyvector.com for world wide charts. Winch X and Cumulus X for the flight.
Info on the Lak Genesis II only 27 produced.

it does look front heavy but the camber of the wings look to be in a positive angle canceling nose down attitude?????

Have a soft spot for gliders, my first taste of flying was in a glider at Pocklington. When I moved onto powered flight I was told off for using too much rudder, I think all pilots should do a stint in gliders.
