The Sparrowhawk's new category of ultralight sailplanes could fit a viable
niche, especially with a US manufacturer. But you'll probably get quicker
acceptance (and more people to tow you) if you stick an "N" number on it
and
carry your pilot certificate.

Part 103 covering ultralights does not mention "ultralight sailplanes"..
they are "unpowered ultralights" .. and not even a "Sailplane"... which
further compounds the confusion on the issue..

I agree with you.. I like the "sparrowhawk" concept.. and if at all
possible.. when I get mine.. it will have an n-number..
