Funky funk plane!

A week ago a great deal was made. I managed to buy a slope soarer plane:
It screams 80's! and it is about 30 years old, vintage stuff.
Some people would put it on the shelf, but i will fly it. It's a slope soarer and slope soaring is super enjoyable + there is a perfect hill for soaring only 10 min of driving away from where i live and another one is 20 minutes away, the hk bixler i use as FPV is not that good at slope soaring but it can do it.
I am not sure what model this plane is? neither was the previous owner, but i know that it was built from a kit as it has a "q.c. passed" stamp in the fuselage.
 It is masively built the fuselage is 5mm balsa, the wings are foam balsa sandwich laminated together in the middle, it also has air brakes.
The control lines are made of stainless steel wires, and are 3mm thick(heavy duty)
no servos came with the plane, it has space for standard servos, tho 12grammers will be used.
the transparent cabin is missing.
Some repairs will be made, oracover re-glued, and servos instaled.
It will fly again!
