looks very interesting!!!!

While I am fascinated by the self launcher, the sustainer and the like,
I have long been curious as to why a glider with a motor doesn't require
an "airplane, single engine, land" license to fly. *Just curious. *

Because its not a ASEL aircraft. What do you would think would happen
if you set loose a typical power pilot in a self launch motorglider?

Having a background with a power ticket can help a lot but so does
some common sense. The quality of checkouts for a self launch
endorsement vary, and especially if done in a touring style
motorglider need some thought in applciation to a single seater
retracting mast type self launcher with basic operation and emergency
procedures. The user community you often find around particular
motorglider types is a huge asset.
