What is this 20 questions? You've been here on r.a.s. shotgunning off
these questions one after the other. What is the point to all this?
Who cares what one glider or motor glider has for a throttle control
or many of other specific little questions, you pick the overall
package and there are things orders of magnitude more important than
this to worry about if you are a serious purchaser.

You have asked questions before about learning to fly and you did not
reply to questions from other people about where you are located. So
can you provide some more information about yourself (or please stop
trolling though r.a.s with these questions). Where are you located? Do
you have a glider or pilots certificate? How much glider or other
flight experience? What is the point of these specific questions? What
real world purchase decision are you trying to make? (there may be
specific type motorglider groups you should talking to if at all
serious about a motorglider).

He/she posted from AviationBanter.com which says he/she's student in
Thailand. In another thread, he/she's said age 19 and not yet started
flight training. He/she's made a total of 16 posts in 7 days in three
newsgroups, including a flickr page on the Bangkok Air Show
http://www.flickr.com/photos/4517936...94402535/show/

So here we have someone who's done at least some homework, has
youthful inquisitiveness, and would like to see things develop in
Thailand.

Local access to soaring is likely rather limited, so he's turned to
r.a.s. with a bunch of questions. You don't have to read or respond.
As for me, give me another 10,000 more youth with this much burn for
aviation on RAS.
