	China? I have found obscure FAA references to a Shenyang HU-1 Seagull and HU-2 Petrel, but nothing more on the actual gliders other than a reference to the Shenyang Sailplane Factory on a German historical aviation site. Most sites I've found for Chinese soaring clubs have European gliders and Chinese tow planes. Anyone have any info?
