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

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)

Thanks each and every one for the valuable input(s). This board is a
great resource to the aviator! I don't know which direction I'll go
and will take my time this winter contemplating what it is I want to
do. The suggestion to look into motorgliding is very interesting,
interesting enough that I am presently scheduling an endorsement for
late fall hopefully in Virginia. I think that would be a nice,
inexpensive investigation into power flight and a very cheap
enodrsement to boot. I do know I can't justify the dollars for a high
performance motorglider, but the Vivat and Scheibe offerings look
interesting. Thanks so much for all of the inputs. If you guys get a
chance, check out the motorglider input via this thread and the link
to the picasa photos ... nice shots!

In the meanwhile, I will continue to soar ... I do love it but this
whole aviation thing is like an addiction to me (a late in life
addiction .. I am 51 now and got my glider license at 49). I just
have to have more!
