What percentage have a power pilot license?

I was in this position several years ago, and I have to echo that while
soaring is great, powered flying can go on year round.
I ended up soloing in powered first, then years later started gliding,
got the PP-glider rating, followed it up with a motorglider
endorsement; and THEN went and got PP-SEL.

From an efficiency standpoint it is better use of your time to get
powered out of the way first, then you only have to take one written
test (at least in the US). Taking two writtens was a pain, not really
hard, just a pain with a busy schedule.

Unfortunately I live in an area without any clubs or commercial
operators within an hours drive so I end up flying powered most of the
time. I used to own a Ka-6CR (and an Ercoupe) and while I'd love a
motorglider, there are very few that are reasonably priced that would
fit in my hanger (ie I need folding wings). There are very few for sale
to begin with anyway.
