[...] But the
bottom line is that you have to be able to meet the practical test
standards.

Nobody has mentioned that you need to take a knowledge test [14CFR
61.63(b)(5) does not exempt glider pilots from this, although it
exempts power pilots from the glider "written."]

The Practical Test Standards don't give you much credit for being
rated, either; expect to do the whole flight test.

A little off-topic...
I teach my power students to do stall recoveries both with and without
power. Why? One accidental stall scenario is trying to "stretch a
glide" after an engine failure. Furthermore, recovering without
power really teaches what a stall is (exceeding the critical angle of
attack, not the horse hockey in the FAA and commercial books). Too
many CFIs think that power is part of the recovery; well, it is,
sometimes (get more airflow over the wing), but the real need for
power is to climb.

In a multi (OK, this is more than a little off-topic), you can't add
power in a stall recovery until you know that both engines are
running. That little bit of yaw might have been a spin entry, but it
might have been Vmc, and adding power makes the latter worse. So, get
the airplane flying, then add power.
