Subject: Glider to ASEL Conversion
From:

he saysUp to 10 of your hours in gliders count towards the 40 hours required
for ASEL.

When I added ASEL to ticket I used 5 hours Glider Dual--I had 5:01 and 10 hours
Glider Solo. And did the ASEL checkride showing 35 hours total airplane time
in the airplane log book. As to the cost of flying airplanes---once you have
both ratings-- you'll notice it takes about 30 hours in most airplanes to be
worth a good 3 hour soaring flight. That is, as to the amount of hands and
feet "on" flying you'll do. Now you could go into acro, crop dusting, or
combat--then the ratio is more one to one. I love flying either, but nothing
has been better than a good 2 to 3 hours of using mother nature to stay
airborne. Five plus hours wears on the ole fanny though. Take care Mac
