Default Licensing order

Hi all,
I've been looking into getting my private pilot's license. I've taken
test flights in a cessna (172SP) and a glider (GROB 103). I really
liked the glider, but I also like the benefits of the private.

What order would be best to get both licenses? Should I get a private
first with a glider addon or go for the glider first and work toward
the private?

Also, would getting a private be worthwhile even if I mostly fly
gliders?

thanks,
Matt


A test flight in each is probably not very representative of how
different the two disciplines are. To me, powered flight is almost as
boring as driving a car. Soaring is a completely different kind of
flying. Very challenging and extremely rewarding when you get to x-
country flying. It's economical, "green", quiet, graceful, develops
better flying skills, etc.

Take more flights in each and try to find a pilot to take you on a
cross-country flight in the 103.
