Default Motorglider Endorsement

Take a look at Starr Insurance.Â* Their policy says that anybody that I
feel is qualified to fly my ship is OK with them.Â* Of course, for FAA
compliance, the pilot would need a self launch endorsement. Costello
would not even quote the Stemme, so I cancelled my Pipistrel policy and
moved it to Starr.

I think I was misunderstood. I need the endorsement before taking
delivery. I would like to find an authorized endorser with access to
a two-place motor glider. My Mini LAK is a single seater and will not
be used to get the endorsement.


When I transitioned to self-launchers (nine years ago), I was told by
Costello that I couldn't fly the ship by aero tow before getting the
endorsement.Â* Where is the requirement coming from to get the
endorsement before even taking delivery?
