Good afternoon my friend Jon, you continue to look at the important
differences between the MG and Purist, that being the importance of flight
management. Continue to overlook this aspect as you did in the remark about
closing the triangle and one goes home and the other may not is a great
example in the difference of the flight management as it relates to risk,
something that you and Eric and Tom continue to overlook.
Now about me being too cheap to pay for a tow, a ground crew and being off
shore and not having a motor, let me explain something. I did own three
towplanes, now down to one , so I do not have to worry about the tow or the
cost of one. If I wanted a motorglider I could go purchase one tomorrow, and
who knows, someday I might just get a self launch. Now here comes the good
one, I really have experienced a much more dynamic flight out over the ocean
than the 5 miles you used as an example, some 25-30 miles offshore and you can
read about it if you wish. Oh, I almost forgot, I was in my sailplane with no
motor. Have a great day Jon, your friend, Old Bob

I have no idea of what you mean by "flight management". What, exactly, are you
managing?

Ok Amos, I will wait for Andy, aka 2G to ask the same question and then I will reply.

Please don't - I've decided you are, regrettably, an RAS troll, and I've been
wasting my time trying to discuss these issues with you. If you are interested
in what I have to say, please contact me privately.
