Lost at sea - for now. Certainly was bottom of the list of things to rescue that day with two chaps in the (chilly) water.

These 'turbos' sound really hit and miss. I've always been frightened by gliders. Birds don't have fixed wings with no further option - they can always flap them - equivalent is a Lycoming spinning on the front end. I'll stick with that.
