Lets go right back to the original question. We have a glider pilot who wants to convert to power. Back in 1991 I was in a very similar position. I did my conversion on a PA38, which I found very hard to fly, but easy to operate. Late on in my training I switched to a DR400 and suddenly I could fly it really accurately and I was not just operating it. I would have passed the tests by just operating the PA38, but it felt horrible. I can fully understand why a Glider pilot would find some aircraft much more attuned to their “seat of the pants” than others. The new VLA types give very good feel, so in my opinion, would be ideal for an ex glider pilot to convert on.
