The market, which buys gliders which the SSA does not, has shown a distinct
lack of interest in recovery chutes. I believe Schempp-Hirth offers a chute as
an option for some of its gliders. I wonder how many they have sold, or even if
interest warranted certifcation?


As far as I know, all the Sparrowhawks sold thus far
have BRS installed, and these need repack only every 6 years.
If anyone has contradicting info, please let me know...
The repack cycle was info I got from Windward, the BRS
in every Sparrowhawk I seem to recall reading from the
Windward or BRS site...
