Kirk,

Where do you fly from? I am trying to make some plans for travelling
with my SparrowHawk over the next few months. I am hoping to show the
SparrowHawk to as many people as want to see it, and hopefully convert
a few "non-believers". I would be very happy to have the opportunity
to show it to you and other people that would be interested in seeing
it. For a few qualified individuals there might even be the
opportunity to fly it.

Doug, thanks for the excellent response. I fly out of Turf Soaring,
near Phoenix Arizona - and would love the opportunity to see the
Sparrowhawk in action. I'll admit I'm a bit of a sceptic, but from
the reasoned responses from several of you out there it sounds like it
is a nice little glider.

I just wish the whole "ultralight" aspect would go away - that still
scares me. It may be a pretty moot point - I doubt anyone could show
up in an unregistered glider and get a tow at any glider operation I
know of!

One question: how do you buy a factory-built Sparrowhawk and register
it if it isn't certified yet? Or did I miss something. Just curious.

So come on out to Turf and show your stuff - on any weekend there will
be plenty of glass to keep you company on some XC or racing, and a
nice airconditioned clubhouse with cold beer and chicks waiting after
the flight (see Pez, he got it just about right, if you stay you will
have to race!).
