Default Flying the Sparrowhawk

Hello RAS,

As some of you know I had a great adventure in August, thanks to Greg Cole's offer to fly his Sparrowhawk at the 13.5 Meter Super Regionals in Moriarty, NM. I wrote up a really long report on the experience for my clubs newsletter and have reprinted it on my SSA Member Blog. You can read all about it he http://www.ssa.org/MyHome.asp?mbr=82...w=blog&id=3396

Hope you enjoy. I think I turned on comments on the blog but if you want to ask questions, do so there or here. I was very impressed and pleased with the Sparrowhawk as a total package. Roomy cockpit, great performance for the wingspan, ridiculously easy to rig, and a joy to fly.
