Sparrowhawk vs PW5
I have been looking at some of the current crop of lightweight
sailplanes on the market and wonder if the sparrowhawk is a good value. Does anyone have any experience flying one? If so how would it compare to a PW5 or a Russia? The price of a new Sparrowhawk with trailer and instruments is pretty high compared to some of other ships available. I am interested in these ships because I am not a competition pilot, and I don't have a crew. So, a ship that is easy to rig and retrieve is desirable to me. I really am looking for some advice from people with experience in these smaller ships. I'm not a new pilot, I am returning after a 15 year hiatus from the sport. I have had a Libelle and a DG 202-17. I appreciate the info in the last thread but it veered of onto the realm of trailer towing weight. |
