Story goes: Pilot magazine sent one of their top tester writers to fly in the newest motor glider at Booker, round about l985 or so.
Admired all the equipment, the instruments, the excellent vis through the generous canopy. They took off and flew a few maneuvers, and then the demo pilot turned off the engine......
Story has it that the top test writer completely lost his cool at that point! First time he was ever airborne when the PIC shut down the donkey; he really didn't like it at all and couldn't quite grasp it was NOT an emergency, but normal practice.
I'm a little sad that your plan for the great new magazine does not include those of us that have no engine at all....and yet do vast cross country flights, cluttering up your airspace!
