Hi Mazzy and all,

Good to be back on here at last after several weeks on the ground (work and weather!).

Spent an hour this morning going around in circles at Wycombe. Rain showers forecast and the base was around 1000', but actually quite good visibility and fairly smooth.

Thanks to everyone's advice, I'm beginning to get the landing flare right, but still getting a regular B**locking from my instructor for being too rough with the rudder throughout the touch and go.

Mazzy, I'm sure you've said somewhere earlier on the thread, but reading your posts about pre-flight and stalling made me wonder what you are learning on. Mine's the Warrior - nice stable aircraft, but why a manual flap lever?!!! (My arms are quite short and I have one hell of a reach to pull it up off the floor).

The Human Performance book is one of the more readable - enjoy it!

Long term forecast is more settled - so maybe some more hours over the next couple of weeks???
