Multi-engine glider

Hey Nick,
I have a single engine glider. The FAA calls it a self-launching glider or motorglider.
But even with the engine, it remains in the glider category. So the pilot only needs a glider certificate and no medical is required. Just another odd FAA factoid.

There is no reason why a multi-engine glider could not be certified in the U.S.
