I think Walt has a good question.


Is there a demonstrated problem? Are there people killing themselves
in motorgliders due to engine handling issues? Is it due to something
that experience in a C152 would help with?

If people are having any problems specific to motorgliders I imagine
it's due to being distracted putting the engine away, or attempting to
start and failing and not having a landing field picked out. Time
banging around a circuit in a 152 isn't going to do anything for that.
