The Sparrowhawk is easy to fly.
I seem to remember the stick requiring more movement in one axis than the other, as in you'd expect to move one more and the other less, but it still had good feel.
The tiny rudder is very effective, like no other glider I've flown. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised in the first few seconds.
