thanx guys.. I knew there was a 10,000MSL limit but did not know there may
be a waiver for unpowered sport aircraft, I knew the Vne was so low as to
exclude 90% of currently available gliders.

Time for me to do some more reading.

I agree - it's probably better to get the Private Pilot
glider than the Sport Pilot glider. For gliders, the
limitations on a SP are greater and the extra effort needed
for the PP is less. Once you have the PPG, you
automatically qualify for the SPG. You can then add the
SP-Airplane with simple instructor signoffs - something you
may find worthwhile.
