Hi Mike
You have got that right! Also the Phoenix comes as a short wing
glider with the outer wing panels removed and as such operates much as
a standard LSA (on a glider ticket). Oh I almost forgot to mention it
comes with a ballistic parachute and a 2 axis autopilot for long
distance motoring. So a Phoenix has the same L/D as my old
SparrowHawk, a similar performance as my old LSA the Jabiru J250 and
finally everything and more compared to my Stemme S10-VT except the
near 50/1 glide ratio. The Jab and the SparrowHawk are sold and the
Stemme is up for sale. My Phoenix should arrive next spring.

For that price you could come close to buying a Phoenix Motorglider.
This could be an interesting option for a club:

1. *2 Place touring motor glider
2. *Downwind dashes without the logistical hassles of chase crews, etc.
3. *Can be used as a tow plane for single seat gliders
4. *Fits in a standard T-Hanger with 10 second wing tip removal
