most single seat gliders.. other than the 1-26.. may not qualify because of
the low stall speed limit.. but mostly for the max Vne.. 115Knts.. most have
Vne well above the 120s and into the 140s

Even the ultralight Sparrow Hawk does not qualify for the "Sport Pilot"..
it's Vne is 123Knt

I believe max gross is 1232 and Vne is less than 115 for
sport gliders, so yes, the L-13 and G-103 don't
qualify as sport but the 2-33 certainly does. So does the
1-26 (just barely).

On the other hand the PW-5 is so wicked fast it too
cannot qualify as a "sport" aircraft. :P
