I'm sure you'll soon get the hang of it, as I hope I will, I know I could do it eighteen years ago, so I must be able to do it again, it's just that this is obviously a tricky skill both to learn and retain without practice.
Last year I retrained after a thirteen year gap, so it can be done! I didn't seem to have to learn to fy again, I did seem to have to learn to land again, and I'd more or less completely forgotten all the procedural stuff (but it came back OK).
