Here are a few pictures of my Discus 2 T
They should be prety descriptives.

Cockpit, note the realief tube. This is very convienient for long flights. I could not live without it

Engine fully extended the engine bay dors a close to reduce the drag. in this configuration the glider has an L/D of 19 with the engine not runing. When engine is runnig you get 200feet/mint of climbing. If you find a termal while the engine is running you will get the thermal plus 200 feet/mint.

On the ground

Tilt up instrument panel. This is a must because it improove greatly the access to get in and out od the glider

The engine can help you go for something like 300K if you use the sawtooth method. the is about 13L of gaz avalable. You have to make the mixture with a 2 stroke oil in a 40/1 ratio

When getting the engine in, the propeler automaticaly folds

Boeley Compass

Getting the engine out, the propeler blades are all over the place. Sometime one or two don't unfold redyly. You can wagel the tail as the book says but I find that pulling on the Decompresor will rotate the engine and then all blades are unfolded automaticaly. I prefer this second method.
