Thanks, you guys are great. I guess the rot set in pretty early on about lesson three with some crosswind landings, but no knowledge really about using the rudder. Fairly predicatable crabbed in results. Guess my instructor wanted to see if I could 'naturally' use the rudder. This scared the living cr*p out of me, and landing the plane has been pretty scarey ever since. Usually about 1 in 4 landings is diabolical, 2 are passable, 1 is decent. This is pretty much down to lack of confidence/nervousnous/shaking like a leaf etc. 100' up I'm ok. Maneuvres usually are pretty good.
Well, I may take a little break, but I'll keep at it medium term. I can't say enough thanks to you guys. THANKS!!
