All US Records are Now Motor Glider Records

A distinct disadvantage motor gliders have is the motor. This is about rules, not any specific technology. Could be Jets. Could be FES. Could be Electro-gravitics some day! (I'm from New Boston, lol: http://www.newbostonhistoricalsociety.com/gravity.html) Think ahead a little. But even with current technology, an ASG-29es is only about 1 lb / sq ft heavier than a dry ASG-29 and the difference in climb (if you can see it at all) just isn't going to be a factor on a record day. best, Evan
