Reasons hands down to fly a Motorglider vs. light sport:

• > Fly in a motorglider in a proven, certified airframe with a standard airworthiness certificate - utility category.
• > Fly above 10,000 feet MSL - in fact powered or un-powered soaring flight is possible to FL 180 and beyond. 
  Sky King Soaring has been up to FL 220 without the engine!
• > Fly VFR over the tops. Fly even IFR in a motorglider if so equipped and rated.
• > Fly in a motorglider with a cruise speed of 120 KTS and above.
• > Fly in a motorglider with a GW up to 1698# to lessen the effects of turbulence.
• > Glide in a motorglider without a tow plane. Cover long distances as a sailplane engine-off. Go international.
• > Fly with your guests in your motorglider and charge them when you own a commercial glider license.
• > Fly a motorglider (and glider) even if your medical certificate has been revoked.
• > Fly without a medical even if you are not an american resident - no drivers license needed.

Equipment List of the motorglider N613TT:  Sky King Soaring's Xtreme motorglider has a panel that would please both the soaring enthusiast and the basic VFR or IFR airplane pilot.  A Borgelt B-500 audio variometer using total energy is coupled to a PDA running WinPilot.   The B-500 transmits GPS position to the PDA making this motorglider suitable for record setting flights. A KT-76A transponder with mode C capability makes soaring safer and this touring motor glider is probably the ONLY commercial motor glider equipped with a passive Collision Avoidance system, the R-5 made by Proxalert.  The KLX-135A GPS/Com with flip-flop frequency selection makes communication and navigation simple.  A new Garmin GPS 196 moving map provides a third independent GPS source in this aircraft ( if you really need 3 GPS units  ;) ) During power flight, a PS Engineering  intercom provides easy communication for side-by-side pilots.  An instrument equipped panel with electric gyros rounds out the panel of this unique motorglider.
