If looking up a glider by N-number, you can simply look at the registration to determine what category airworthiness cert it has. Under the "Airworthiness" section, look for "classification". It will be either "Standard" or "Experimental". This is the easiest way to tell for a particular glider, since some models have ended up in both the standard and experimental categories over the years.
