Robert,
If your club had to buy a towplane all over again, would you still buy the motorglider, or would you get another Rallye or other 'normal' airplane? Thanks, Ray Lovinggood Bad things: the reliability of the engine is lower than expected. Maybe our plane is an exception, but we had a lot of minor and major engine failures, including a crack in the main engine body, which implied replacement of the engine. Full power with maximum turbo pressure is limited to 5 minutes, this doesn't hurt as most tows are shorter than that. Runway 1000m, altitude 370 ft, temperature 20-35°C, reached 40°C in August 2003. Prevailing winds are crosswinds.
