Default Jet turbine reliability

There was a recent landout of a brand new JS1 in the middle of nowhere near Hobbs during the contest due to jet failure. Multiple attempts were made to start it.
So much for jet reliability. Apparently can't trust them either.
I heard of at least 3 landouts of motorgliders recently.
Hopefully electric motors will be more reliable.
