What if you gave distance points only, but used the last
turnpoint successfully rounded as the landing point rather than the
location where the engine was started.

How about if both MG and "pure" sailplanes got scored this way. (Land-out or
motor start gets scored to last turnpoint.) Would that be fair?

Steve, the Motorglider isn't forced to get zero points or distance points to
an earlier turn point. Under my proposed change to the rules, all he is
required to do is to land. Just the same as the pure sailplane is forced to do
in the same situation.The MG is also free to claim a constructive land-out if
that is to his advantage.
