Which way? Both appear to be good motorgliders. I want something that can glide, carry a passenger and to be used as a vehicle. Safety is important.

For a distance flight using up to three turn points the Sporting Code says at 1.4.5.b. : "The turn points must be at least 10 kilometers apart and may be claimed once, etc." Why "10 km", why "once". Does anybody know. Karel
