Thing & myself know each other, I agree with thing.

I still fly both disciplines now.

When learning to fly ppl in 2009, my instructor who was 22 at the time, after the first instructional flight, said I was the easiest student he's ever had. Solo in ppl after 5 hours instruction, skills test done 37 hours total ppl flying & passed! (10 hours credited from Gliding towards my ppl licence for full FCL)

Also just to add, us ppl flying glider pilots, also look for the areas to avoid near thermals & clouds where gliders are likely to be flying! The number of times I have been P2 With friends flying & had to point out gliders they haven't even seen!

Fly safe.
