OK, here's a question. Does a seaplane motoglider exist?


I'm reasonably familiar with motorgliders, and I' don't know
of any. There were some seaplane pure gliders, and I recall
at least one plan to build one, but don't know what ever
happened.


After more than an hour of searching, I found the motor glider specs
he http://www.sonex-ltd.com/motorglider_definition.html



1. What are the restrictions on a motorglider vs. LSA?
2. What are the advantages of motorgliders vs. LSP? ...555#'s more MTOW is
one.


Found this interesting. (Maybe it's out of date already - 2000)

I'm going to Google rec.aviation.soaring for motorglider info:

Well, this was sure an interesting discussion over in RA(S)oaring ;;;Can a
glider rated pilot fly a non-"self launched" 152/172/Warrior according to
the FAR's? Plow through all 36 posts. - interesting.
