"JJ Sinclair" wrote in message ... There are several questions concerning motorgliders on this years SSA / SRA pilot poll. Some of the questions may have been spurred by my letter dated 7/11 03 which follows sniip attempt a final glide home. Two landed at the turn point, but the two motorgliders started a final glide for home over mostly unlandable terrain. They were hoping for a bump to get them home. Not getting the bump, they both started their engines a few miles from home and got distance points to the location where they started their engines. A few years back, I tried a similar final glide without sufficient altitude in my non-motorized Nimbus 3. I ended up a mile short with a broken ship. snip Would you have still "ended up a mile short with a broken ship" if you had been flying with a 500 ft minimum finish altitute to get speed points?
