Funny that, Brian, I learned to fly helis (I need more training/money) and THEN started (finally got about) flying gliders for fun and plan to do FW PPL so that I won't go mad and could rent something 'cheap' while continuing my studies - better than flying helis in chunks once a year or two.

I'm also going to do my PPL in Cub, rather than C152/172. The proper FW handling :-P From my few hours in gliders I could get a gist of FW and RW training and differences. Yeah, we'd get engine and throttle on top of stick and rudder. Still nowhere near as demanding as helis - especially R22
