A thing that everyone who makes "gliders" should read

A glider has NO engine AT ALL, but a glider with an Engine is a Power glider. I just wanted to clear that up.

    @SalemASaberhagen Thanks for that - I think you have raised a good point so Upvoted. Never flown a power glider only a traditional glider - aerobatic type called a Puchasz.

    @cowelly a sailplane is a glider in a way, powered glider s are also called power sailplanes

    Cool - but what's the situation in the US where unpowered gliders are referred to as Sailplanes? Does a power glider still count as a sailplane or is there a different name given?
