yet? Or did I miss something. Just curious.

It was registered in the Experimetal class, just like your LS-6.


Curious; my LS6 is registered Experimental - Racing, but it is a
certified glider in Europe (JAR?) so I have to comply with all the
normal certified aircraft procedures. For example, I can't do annuals
on it myself.

As I understand it, the Sparrowhawk is not certified anywhere, just
registered Experimental - as in homebuilt experimental, where you can
do all the work yourself on it. I didn't know you could build and
sell aircraft that way - I thought they had to be kit built.

So it really isn't "just like my LS6", as I see it.

Or do I have all this certification stuff wrong? I havn't really read
up on it much.

Again, just curious; if the thing is safe to fly then it's all just
legal bull**** anyway...

I probably cant make it down to Estrella soon, hope it makes it to
Turf soon.
