Hows a self launch starting at 6,200' MSL up to 18,000' MSL followed by
a distance of 350 nautical miles? That's what I'll be doing in June to
relocate the Stemme from Moriarty, NM to Rifle, CO. And it might use
half a tank of gas.

Of course, I'll only do it that way if soaring conditions don't support
gliding the whole way.
