The central ohio MOSS club used to do an annual Gnome contest.   Most of the members had at least one 2 meter Gnome.  I have built three of them and still have two, including the infamous Flamingoid.
 
    The Gnome is still kitted I believe.   It is a little heavier and stronger than a GL and has a somewhat more advanced airfoil.   I think of the Gnome as a wood and monokote Duck.
 
    For some reason MOSS has stopped running our Gnome contests over the last few years.  I guess people got tired of standing in the landing circle and yelling "DUCK!"
