i can remember coming back from my first hover lesson - thinking "what have i done.... i can't do this, i'm never gonna get this, i'm dreaming if i think i can do this"
in short: don't give up - everyone's most likley had the same problem & probably been told the same thing - relax;
"the more you relax the smoother you will fly"
it will come together for you, persevere & don't let your performance (or lack of it initially) get you down
i managed to pass my flight test (only yesterday actually)
, personally i think i still fly like ****, but realising this will hopefully make me the better for it
, life is an exercise in personal refinement.
you cannot be expected to nail it the first time. keep-on keeping-on
cheers
