 In all seriousness, considering the possibilities of in flight engine stoppage with our very experimental power plant installations, I would highly encourage you guys to add a glider rating, or at least take some glider dual. If the noise up front stops your confidence level will be much higher and laundry bills much lower if you've had experience landing without power.
 
The only downside to glider flying is the time it takes away from airplane flying!

So Mike,
Do you still have your glider? When do get some glider dual?  (to compliment the small amount of solo glider time in my RV :-)

BTW,  Ed doesn't have to work toward any award...  he had that one locked up long ago  :-)
