1000km flights
I see all the sailplanes doing the long flights in Namibia are either self-launching or fitted with sustainers. I imagine the logistics of getting trailers and crews to Namibia, as well as flying over pretty isolated areas, must make flying there in a conventional sailplane pretty daunting.
