I don't mean to muddy the waters here as this is an interesting point, but would an electric-launched glider fall under the "glider" rules or the "electric" rules? Once in the air and at altitude, an electric-launched glider needs to seek out and follow thermals just like an unpowered glider. Would it, perhaps, be appropriate to designate that gliders that are launched with electric motors can fly anywhere with the motor off but only fly with the motor on in front of the flight line?
