Keys to flying in ground effect:

-want sensitive control so can react quickly to "squirelyness"

...which will quickly lead to a PIO, given an inexperienced pilot. I don't know
exactly what you are planning, but go to a gliderport and get some aero tow
experience before you go any further.

-anything missing?

I don't know exactly what you are planning, but I earnestly suggest that you go
to a gliderport and get some aero tow experience before you go any further.

I totally agree with Vaughns. Sensitive controls with quick reaction is very likely to lead to over-reaction. In the initial part of a glider aero tow, when the glider is airborne and the tow plane isn't, you will rapidly learn what is like to fly in ground effect.

As a side note: You may even find flying gliders fun!!
