All - I think a translation is in order. I had never hear of "PM"
before so I looked it up. I believe it stands for Personal or Private
Message, meaning that you should send a note to this author via one-on-
one direct email and not through RAS (which is public). Oh, those
trendy SoCal foks!

http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry. I did a search for
"Windward" and "Sparrowhawk" and got multiple hits. Alas, none in
California. However the FAA database will give you the name and
address of every owner. You can then send them some SM* to see if
they want to sell.

My $0.02.

and I live in Illinois!

Hi John
Many and perhaps most SparrowHawk owners me included prefer to
operate under Part 103. This means no registration so the FAA has no
records of any SparrowHawk operating under Part 103. Why Part 103 and
not experimental? For several reasons - a couple being no county taxes
and no restrictions on where I can fly it in the US. Also I don't have
to fill out that yearly form the FAA now requires for experimental
aircraft. Remember my SparrowHawk is considered to be an "ultralight
vehicle" and not an aircraft.

I've seen this one. Nice rig, well-equipped. It probably has a nice o2
system, too.

Haven't seen the plane in question but I just spent a week flying and
hanging out with Patrick at the Logan Regional contest. He's a
quality individual and I am sure the SparrowHawk is as he describes
it, based on what I saw of his other 'craft this week!

Patrick,
Are you sure your ready to call it an upgrade and sell the
Sparrowhawk? I know your almost new Ventus 2bx is a screaming machine
and looks as pretty as European nude art, but are you really ready to
give up all the fun the Sparrowhawk has to offer? The Ventus demands
more speed, where the Sparrowhawk just gives more fun. Watching
Region 9 was great fun on Saturday and I sure hope your EYES get
better and your miss less turn points which should dramatically boost
your score proving what a fine racing machine the Ventus really is. I
bet it was the scratches on the wing that slowed you down? I still
feel very sad that I sold my Sparrowhawk as it was one of my most
difficult decisions I have ever made. I guess it's just all part of
the sport. We buy, fly, enjoy, grow, dream faster, by faster, learn
more, dream faster, and buy faster once again until we die. Life is
great!!!!

I think Bert's been watching what Jim Payne's been up to in Golf
Charlie!
Top flight in the World on Saturday... 853k on the OLC at 109kph.
When asked on the radio if he was going back to flying a 1-26, Jim
responded "this is way more fun".

.... and every time I rig, I think about the fact that each of my wings
weighs as much as an entire SparrowHawk.
