 :yAhhh...that`s better; my engine failure-o-meter could deal with a motor glider.
I had a fly of Rutan`s Solitaire motorglider (many years ago) and did enjoy it; but, I lacked the soaring skills to make for a long, truly-relaxing 'engine retracted' flight. ;)

remind me again, how many million dollars did they put into that-but they couldnt figure out beforehand that the "aloominum "framework wouldnt be strong enough for the 4 (well 4 half) helicopters? Also, is it me, but I thought that the tail blades were essential for stability on helicopters? Main thing is that someone lost their life testing it :(

Only half a decade behind schedule...
