Surprised no one mentioned this, and as a CFIG you should know this, no aircraft is suitable for an infrequent flyer. The only way to stay safe for you and our fellow pilots is to fly. Flying is something you should do much or not do at all. The stats have proved this over 100 years of aviation.

Is the Sparrowhawk handling suitable for a low time glider pilot who flies infrequently? How is pitch and roll sensitivity compared to say, a Discus B? One of our club members seems to have a big problem staying in position on tow. He does just OK in a K21. I need to know how to help him or conversely, suggest he do something else. I have 1-26 , 1-34, LS4, ASW20, ASW 27, DG808, and Discus CS experience.

Thanks in Advance
