Great read Mazzy - well done, and enjoy your flying overseas.
I feel much better tonight, spending two seperate hours in the circuit today, and it was great. Seems like I've cracked it (the landings that is!!). Today, it just all came together at last. There was a 6 to 8 knot crossswind, at 90 degrees to the runway, so it was not exactly difficult, but I finally got ther coordination of the rudder, ailerons and stabilator near enough right. The landings were all quite smooth even - can't believe it. I'm back again tomorrow for another couple of hours, so hopefully I can build on today and not regress.
Again, congrats Mazzy, and thanks again for your words of encouragement.
