Well, with a sport version, an N number is given.
And yep, it would be a "sport glider."

The benefit is that maint. and inspection requirments
can be attained by 80 hours + 16 hours of sport maint. trng.

Others have mentioned the sport glider rating is
silly. Agreed, for the straight rating. But the transition rating
is something quite different (and useful).

shows precedent. I hope this becomes true for Sport Pilot
also. Otherwise, with the 10,000 ft altitude restriction,
Sparrowhawk is unlikely to want to make a Sport version (at
least that was one downside that Greg Cole communicated to me).

makes sense to me, but with no N number.. there are those that are taking on
risk to tow the sparrowhawk aloft.
