how hard is it to transition from a motor glider to a "regular" glider

[pilotguy143]

I have my commercial glider rating and my CFIG. Unfortunally, I haven't had the chance to fly a non motor glider.

My question is this: Have any of you guys ever recieved your ratings in a motor glider and then got the aerotow sign-off? How long did it take?


Thanks

The last time I checked, 14 year-old kids could do it. How tough could it be?

Actually, it's not a big deal. It shouldn't take more than a few flights to learn the normal and abnormal/emergency procedures.

Assuming that you were taught properly in the motorglider, the only issue is the tow...and that can generally be learned fairly quickly.

Fly safe!
