Looks like the main points have been covered. Things I found took
time a little time to get
1) Learing to pay attention to maintaining straight and level;
2) Learing to add power during stall recovery (to be honest during a
recent BFR it was apparent I still tend to recover first then think,
oh yeah should probably add the power back in now);
3) The whole concept of go-arounds.

Pro's to the whole excercise:
- Far better understanding of other traffic that's out there;
- Far better understanding of airspace & communications;
- You can get a flying fix even when you can't get a tow pilot;
- Item 1) above only needs to be retained temporarily, not all SEL
airplanes are intended for straight & level flight ;-)

Cons:
- Cost;
- You'll end up towing which will cut into your glider flying;
- It ain't soaring so you'll still need your glider, you'll just end
up owning two aircraft..

Hi everyone,

I am a licensed glider pilot and will be pursuing my Single Engine
Land power license this upcoming year. I was wondering if anyone in
the group has gone from Glider License only to Single Engine Land
licensing? What were the requirements, etc? Do any of the hours
transfer to the requirement of SEL? Ease / difficulties to
transition? Comments and recommendations?

I am hoping to commit the first month of this upcoming summer to
getting the license, therefore will be looking for a school that "fast
tracks" so to speak. I may also be entertaining the thought of
selling my G102 later next year if anyone might show interest. (Yes,
the spiggot ADs have been done ... lol)
