best engined glider
OK, so I had the pleasure of flying a Stemme S10 recently, what a joy, a ratio of 50-1, side by side seating and an engine that can push you along at
100 mph. A great aircraft, but, at what a cost, over £150000. So if you cant afford that try popping over to Enstone (Chipping Norton)and try out their lovely Super Dimona, it has an excellent glide ratio, so if the engine fails you should have enough time to sort out a suitable landing zone. It has great air brakes which make it reasonably easy to get into most fields.
