Default Duck Hawk Kudos

I'd say they got that one right. I sat in a Sparrow Hawk and was
disturbed by how lightly constructed the cockpit and canopy frame
were. I understand that the Duck Hawk will use the same fuselage.
I'd far rather it felt more substantial, and was made of more crash
tolerant materials, even if it was 30-50 pounds heavier.

I suppose I'm biased by my familiarity with modern Schleicher
cockpits.
