Hi, I'm new to the list. Am looking at options for replaceing one of the aircraft I use on a military installation for many things. I reviewed the web site for the sparrowhawk and found it interesting, however much information is missing. X-wind conponent, minimum safe speed, and how do these aircraft handle in areas with thermals from hell? I currently fly Cessnas, but have build and flown several different ultralights, with many hundreds of hours in the tiny planes. What are the realistic build times? Typical flight hours versus maintenance? Thanks.
