Experienced pilots have a safe landing picked out. Love this aircraft. Chasing thermals is amazing fun.

As irminkerch noted the propeller was not un-feathered. They start every time with it unfeathered. Good idea to start the engine when above the pattern especially with other airplanes around to avoid starting after landing with someone on final. A precaution but a start is not necessary with a glider as a airport should always be within gliding distance.

@DeadRoman You may not like the man, but there is no need to hurt his self esteem.

Russ is my hero - speaks to me as a pilot to a pilot - does a great job reporting on the segments of GA I enjoy most.
How reassuring was that? The engine wouldn't restart!

if you rely on the motor - you're doing it wrong.
