Default Best Overall Motorglider available today?

The Stemme /can/ be a touring motorglider if you want to fly it that
way.Â* I prefer to fly mine as a self launching glider with a rock solid,
/certificated,/ engine for self retrieve.Â* It has /never/ failed to
start.Â* Still, I don't take it anywhere that I can not land on a paved
runway but, with 50:1 glide at a decent cruise speed, there are plenty
of landing spots available.

For a Touring Motorglider, I vote for the Phoenix.
