I'm guessing that you are suggesting some sort of IFR training. My only technique for IFR is "benign spiral", so yeah I'd like to get some basic IFR skills. Wet wave puts me at risk of flying into a cloud, or getting stuck up above the cloud deck.

How do I get IFR-for-glider-pilots training? Do I have to go to a powered flight school? Do I have to get a single engine rating before I can do IFR training? Seems like a power plane would be the efficient way to to this.
