Congrats and nice flying! Keep pursuing the ASEL add-on! I come from the same background and am just about ready to go for the next checkride. Let me know if you have any questions about the transition, endorsements, etc. (:

I'm a Private Pilot in Gliders and ran into this question on my transition to ASEL. No issues getting a regular 3rd class medical prior to solo. Endorsement under 61.31(d)(2) and tailwheel and I was good to go!

Took a little over a month for the plastic cert. to come in the mail for me!

Well, lets start with Saturday's 2... So, I got out to the glider club at around 11AM, winds were out of variable from 180 - 230 from 14kts. gusting to 20 earlier from 1-5PM. So, I take a dual flight around the pattern to get solo current again, we launch from 28 and the flight went fine...

Congrats, PILOT! Enjoy every minute of it. :yesnod:

Wow, that's awesome Tony and congrats! Hoping for some lift like that this Saturday..

Yup, it was a great day, I just wish I would of stayed up a bit longer as I found some strong lift passing below 2,000AGL.. Ah, that sucks, hope you can get up when the lift is good!

Woke up this morning at 9, and headed over to the airport at 10:30, where we were just opening up shop at our glider club for today. Did an array of stuff before I got into the air (Had to wait for another tow pilot, as my instructor (And also the only other available tow pilot) wanted to check...

If only I was old enough to get the PPL. :mad2:

After a hiatus from power flying back in September (Persuing gliding more and getting ready to solo at the time) I took back into the sky in the Citabria (On skis for the first time!) on February 16 & 20. ____ Now with all the snow melted, and the wheels back on, we flew out to Carrol County...

Thanks Tony, Spike & Skip. For the gliding I fly at Atlantic Soaring Club at my local field (0W3). I plan on getting the PPL in gliding and also solo in the powered airplanes when I hit 16, Skip.

Hey Everyone, I've been a lurker here for a long time and figured I should introduce myself. My name's Walter and i'm a 14 Year old Student Pilot flying a Schweizer SGS 2-33 and a 7GCBC Citabria. Looking forward to talk and get to know the great bunch here at POA!
