I encourage it. ??

The recreational limitations outweigh any benifits it offers. For only 10 more hours of dual time you can earn your Private Certificate. On top of that if you want to fly in Class B or any other controlled airspace you must also receive individual enodorsements that will most likely push you over the 40 Total Time required for a Private Certificate.

I do not think it is worth it and the small number of Recreational Pilots in the U.S. seems to validate that fact. With Sport Pilot increasing in popularity it would seem the FAA will get rid of Recreational soon.
