I am told that the choice of the Sparrowhawk was dictated by the
available space.
But I do not think it is a good selection for the EAA crowd. It is
simply not represenative of what people will find at their local
gliderport.
I displayed my kit built Apis 13 in 2003 and attracted a lot of
attention but no orders. Never even got a mention in the magazine.
The EAA folks are more turned on by selflaunch than pure gliders, which
they see as needing too much supporting equiptment and personel.

One thing I do not like about the proposed exhibit is that non SSA
Chapter clubs will not be mentioned. There are a lot of them and many
are more convenient than SSA affileated clubs. But the SSA is chiping
in some of the money so I guess they get their way.
