About 300 hours on gliders - and an instructor rating. It helped for the first 60 hours (solo in about 6) but not much after that. But my PFLs were always good!

Later as an instructor at the elementary stage, I enjoyed teaching glider pilots more than PPL holders. Their airmanship (particulary lookout) was superior and they were better attitude flyers. And they learned PFLs quickly!
