Wanted: Motorglider Airworthy,Damaged,Parts,Kit or plans
I'm a retired military reservist* and will retire from my civilian job
as a mechanic in two and half years. It will be an early retirement with a small pension and being a reservist I'll receive a small military pension also at age sixty, I'm forty eight now. In retirement I want to travel around in my van with a small Motor Glider in tow. However even a larger touring style Motor Glider would work, it would just become my traveling vehicle. The only kind that wouldn't fit my intentions would be a sustainer. The dream is to travel to the well known soaring spots in North America and further if time permits. I'll try new areas also if the lift looks promising. I'll document my experiences on a web blog similar to what other retirees do with their RV travels and/or with videos similar to what Paul Naton did with model gliders in his Endless Lift series. The blog will start soon When I pick up or receive the motor glider or when I train for my Motor Glider endorsement. I'm not married and don't have any kids so I have a lot time and freedom for the pursuit, just not a lot of money. I consider myself a very good gas welder, sheet metal worker and have had training in composites. I soloed a glider at age fifteen at Turf Soaring School in Arizona, when they were still located alongside the horse racing track. I currently hold PPL SEL with Tail Dragger and soon a Glider endorsement. I'm a member of the Minnesota Soaring Club, Experimental Aircraft Association Chaptder 25, pending member of the Auxiliary-powered Sailplane Association and own a one tenth share in a Piper Cub based at KMIC. My doctor really likes the idea Kevin Tesmar Minneapolis *E-6 Minnesota Air National Guard and Iraqi Freedom veteran |

Vaughn I agree.. but 61.31(d)(2) as it is written, has no expiration date.. it also says that the individual must be receiving training towards a rating and under the supervision of an instructor as a CFIG, I add an expiration date BT |

Sorry about my writing error. I do intend to take the FAA check ride
in the Spring. The Xenos is a marvelous aircraft. I had put about $5,000 down on a kit and attended the workshop a couple of months after my return from Iraq. John Monnett is a very honest man. He said the Xenos wings are to heavy for solo rigging. I also had qualms about why is the Xenos priced so much higher than the Sonex. Jeremy replied that it was because the Xenos is one third more airplane. A very fine aircraft just not what feels right in my heart. I do have Sonex plans available if anyone wants to make an offer. . I'm thinking more along the lines of a vintage tube and fabric (KA-4, KA-7) converted to power or a composite. And yes soaring is over a least for me this season, my Cub has the winter kit installed on it though 8) This is the time of the year I move from working outside to downstairs in shop.

Great news... glad to hear it was just a typo.
After you complete your checkride with aero tow... you will need someone to provide the "Self Launch" endorsement for your motor glider. Any CFIG that is self launch qualified can provide the endorsement. Sorry to hear you have to hole up for the winter... I always knew there was a reason I took my first retirement to the desert southwest. We were flying in 65F degree temps today. BT wrote in message oups.com... Sorry about my writing error.
