While on topic, a couple of other glider notes:
You never have to worry about engine failure in a glider.
If you are a power pilot first, it opens up the opportunities to become a tow pilot for your glider club later, assuming you collect the right experience. Then if hanging at the glider club becomes your thing, there are lots of opportunities to fly. And, glider club members generally look on tow pilots with favor, even if they are of the sort that disdain all other forms of powered flight!
