Always one to plan ahead, I have a flight review due May of 08, unless I get an additional rating, so what should it be?
 
I was gonna suggest airship but you might run into some equipment availability issues. So, join the "anti-engine" crowd. :)
 
without a doubt, quit flying.
haha.
I had to vote for that.
 
Since you didn't mention cost as a factor I'd go with rotorcraft. I think it would the most fun of those listed.
 
I'm with Kent ....................... go get something wet.
 
You've got an active glider airport near you and 2 days can get you a seaplane rating at Cadillac. Both would be fun. And instructive. But mostly fun.

Rob - I notice there is not a G in your signature
 
I voted for Flight Reveiw cause if you do any of the others you will want to but something else to fly (Multi,Glider, Ballon ,Etc.) and i think your money could be better spent at 6Y9, which is really where your heart is at. Just my opinion Ed .
Good luck which ever you decide

I say go for the glider rating. The SES would be more fun/$ and take less time but glider training will make you a better pilot and I know you want to be the best.:yes:
 
Tap out. J/K. I'd go for the glider rating just for the stick and rudder skills.

Pilots are supposed to be decisive!

yes, i bet there is a big difference in number of moving parts between my glider and bobs helo. we both get the joy of landing off airport, but he gets to take off again...
 
well he gets back in the air from the point he landed. my trip back to the air involves disassembly and transport

Or, just do every LDG for the SES power off, from all over the sky.
With the poor glide ratio, that'll do just as much for stick & rudder skills as the glider training.
 
i dont really think that the landings in gliders is what brings out the stick and rudder skills. towing helps a lot, but the circling in 45 ish degree banks about 3 knots over stall and trying to keep all the rates steady while making necessary corrections to stay centered in the thermal, thats the part that seperates the men from the boys.
