Matt,

Its more cost efficient to get the power license first and then the
add-on glider rating. You only need 10 solo flights(with a 360 degree
turn) to get a glider add-on rating(no written required).


Yes, and then you'll have a glider rating - but you won't be a glider
pilot. UH has it right, it takes time and experience.

We have a local College whose prime reason for being is to pump out
bodies to fill right seats. Nothing wrong with that. They also have a
Grob 109B or two and all of their graduates get CFI-Gs as well. One
wanted to come and instruct for our (pure glider) club. We had to
decline his offer. Becoming a glider pilot takes time.
