When I took my practical test for Private Pilot Glider, the FAA examiner
said "I wish they would teach everyone to fly gliders before power. You
learn so much more about energy management in gliders."

Hi all, I decided to take the plunge (no pun intended) and start
flying. I thought about going straight for a private glider license.
But, I do have the option of going for the powered pilot license first
- then the glider license second. Any thoughts? How many here have
both? Did you get your powered pilot license first?

cheers, Victor
