Personally, I feel the ultimate, most unteathered feeling, is pure glider with a crew with good communications/spot etc. Nothing else compares to that.








A crew is a far stronger and more unwieldy tether than an aux motor in the back. More trouble, more maintenance, and often more costly.




Yeah, but that aux motor won't cook you dinner or keep you warm at night...
