... One wonders if the Sparrowhawk would make it as a world class glider. Certainly it has much in common with the PW-5 and Russia (light weight, short wings, easy rigging, better polar but close, fixed gear, no flaps). ... At least in one country (France, where I live and fly) the Sparrowhawk would be illegal. According to the french regulation, for a glider to be considered as ultralight, it should be foot launchable, otherwise it must be certified, or have an engine, i.e. not be a glider. So the Sparrowhawk could only be a world-minus-one-country class glider.
