Is a motorglider a "powered aircraft"? Does anyone have official words to this effect? I asked our regional FSDO this question and he felt that a motorglider was not a "powered aircraft", but I have heard from others that it is. I ask for reasons of certifying as a tow pilot in a motorglider....

I have purchased a copy of Condor and have been completely immersed in it for a week. I am not generally a 'gamer'.

The marking on the side wall of the tire, which is of German origin, says,...
