So wait, are you saying that motor glider owners don't have trailers? I am not really sure what the Trailer Versus Motor argument is here.

And if you are spending $1200 per year to maintain your motor (isolate motor cost, not airframe maintenance), something is wrong with your motor. For your own safety please stay within safe glide of a suitable landing field.

I already said you cannot prove that the bad decisions have not been made by motor glider pilots. I am not saying they all make the decision, however the option is there for someone to take the risk. It is about options, not about "have you" or "have I".

The point of consolidation still alludes me. By the logic presented here, eliminate the distinction between general, female, and junior records because there is no apparent difference in performance capability between the groups, and very few female and junior record attempts are being made. I hope we can agree to keep these categories as they contain records that have been set, and they allow for a broader range of goals to be set, calculated, and measured by more pilots.
