You want to be legal or safe?
My recomendation would be to get a self launch endorsement from a CFI
that normally does power instruction who also has a glider rating
(CFIG). It's a power plane with a good glide ratio (that should get
the discussion off track) treat it like one. The time you spend with
the CFI should be fun and relativley cheap compared to the original
purchase price and the repair cost for the plane and yourself.
