Purists are from Pluto, Motorgliderists are from Mars - #2

Do you really believe Klaus Ohlmann and Jean-Marie Clément would have set their records in the Andes in a "pure" sailplane? Instead, they flew each a Nimbus 4DM, I believe. "No safety advantage" - really? Will you say it's a special case? That is just ludicrous. Go read Jean-Marie's papers on the failure rate of his 4DM, and understand the steps he took to maintain a landing option. A summary of Jean-Marie's 4DM failures is in the OSTIV presentation I did in 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R--m0NDR0j8)
