Thank you Night Rider, robione, and Kermit 180. Night Rider, I will certainly take your advice on board and robione's reply couldn't be more apt. My first trip was with a PPL who had not flown for a while, on the landing, I had to take control after balloning, to avoid a heavy landing, although the CFI was willing to sign the licence, mmmm. The next flight was uneventful but the hands and feet were poised, just in case. I must admit it has been an eye opener, to put it mildly.
