Anyone flown a SHK-1?

Do you have a flight and maintenance manual? Do you have anything detailing the proper rigging?
I own a Standard Austria S, was relieved of my documents by a break and enter thief. Schempp-Hirth provided a replacement Flight and Service Manual for a fee of 50 euros. That manual does have some key rigging data; a good start at least.
I'm 5, 10" by the way. Do you think I'd fit comfortably?
I am 5' 11", with long legs and short back. I gather I have the 'short' cockpit, and fit fine. I am glad my back is not longer, but legroom is not an issue. Numerous 8 hour flights, comfortably.
My Scarlet Lady has flown a lot - and will again this year if the field dries out! Yes, let's keep the Austrias in the air where they belong. I can't count the number of times other pilots have announced their adjacency by saying "looking pretty up there".
