Real has some important insights about the issues of flying MGs, but
has reached a couple of very wrong conclusions.

"Flying a motor glider could force you to more land out then having a
pure glider."

If this actually happens, you are doing something seriously wrong.

I have to agree with Tom - this a really odd statement. Before I got my
motorglider, I'd land away from home about 3 or 4 times a year in my ASW
20 B; since getting my ASH 26 E 18 years ago, I've never had to land
away from except for one weather related situation. I've restarted in
the air over 160 times to avoid landing out. My wife thinks it's the
best glider we've ever had (it's my 5th one), because "it always gets back".
