Sparrowhawk handling

What UH says has merit.

I have a Pipistrel Sinus in addition to my LAK-17a and I'm currently
flying an ASH-30 mi with its owner at Minden. Neither the LAK nor the
ASH give me the slightest problems in takeoff, flight, or landing while
the Pipistrel gives me fits. It's wonderfully easy to fly but so light
on the controls that, in the gusty environment of Moriarty, landings are
quite a challenge for me.

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

As light as it is, I would expect low polar moments and very quick response.
I seems to me that he should build some more experience ti increase his safety margins.
I suspect I am confirming waht you already think.
