Blinkz,
You are so wrong. I assume that you do know something about what we are discussing here, i.e. that a Turbo is a sustainer engine only and not a self launcher.
The problems today with reduced numbers of people in gliding and the pressure of alternative ways of spending time and money mean that the Turbo is very much the way to go. Minimal licensing, (none) and an almost guaranteed return to base at dusk whilst still having the camaraderie of the normal club launch system gives the best of both worlds. Just consider the difficulties with finding a retrieve crew who are actually correctly licensed and insured to come and get you together with trhe cost of buying off the litiginous farmer and his platinum potato crop and the cost of repairs from damage caused by hidden obstructions, dark derigs and road damage. Only downside to turbo is cost and some complication. Worthy trade in my book.
