Motorgliders and gliders in US contests by
Brian Case
The rules say you may not exchange aircraft or even major components.
I belive there is an exception that a component may be replaced with
an exact replacement if the original compenent has been damaged
through no fault of the pilot or crew.
Here are the exact rules for regional contests:

Motorgliders (long) by
M B
http://webpages.charter.net/engreenwell/ASA/DG400%20accident%20(Se
im).htm seems to outline some of the advantages and
disadvantages of a motorglider. I must say, however,
that motorgliders seem to be a great idea to me mostly
for self-launch/self-retrieve. In air restarts seem
pretty sketchy,...

Motorgliders and gliders in US... by
M B
Boy, if I were competing, I would look hard at buying
a motorglider and then learn how to remove and install
the engine correctly. It sure sounds like a win-win
to me. Two gliders for the price of one? Hmmm...I
guess I'd also want one with ballast so I could have
that option with the motor...

Suggestions for a specification for the ideal training glider by
Mark Zivley
Excellent points, may I suggest a slight change...
must be capable of spinning, but not so spin prone that it's dangerous.
Obviously, you want a glider that will spin for spin training. If it
spins with little warnin, or doesn't like to recover, then it's dangerous.

day, prefer to consider the tow pilot and make sure
HE or SHE is within gliding distance of the target
airport before releasing.
Just wondering what the proper...
