Perhaps I should have provided a little more information about what I
know, and what I want. I have read the Sparrowhawk web site. From what I see the sailplane looks good. Easy to assemble, cores thermals well, good climb performance. Nice performance all around, about the same as a Ka 6E or Libelle 201. One thing still has me wondering. Flying in windy conditions, especially in the landing phase. With a low gross weight (half the above ships) won't you get blown around like a leaf ? Is there enough penetration to be an effective cross country plane in the hands of an average pilot. Now what I want...... Fun to fly !!! Easy to assemble / disassemble (hate having to ask two or three folks for help). Easy to repair. Easy to get parts / upgrades. The annual is not an issue, nor is registartion or licensing. Low maintenance finish. And last good resale value ( same as good performance). |
