Default All US Records are Now Motor Glider Records

I believe having the ability to self retrieve gives a distinct advantage. Thinking forward to FES where a low altitude save via starting your nose motor offers zero risk to the pilot means that pilot can push significantly harder over less forgiving terrain than the pilot that does not have the option.

I'm surprised people are in denial of this distinct mental advantage.
