I believe every word you say. I started flying because of an addiction caused by having 2 half hour aerobatic trial lessons, before joining the flying club and 2 half hour sessions as soon as I joined the club.
Even asked the aero's instructor if he'd ever had an aero's student who didn't know how to fly ('cos I couldn't...then). Obviously his answer was "no". So asked if he wanted one - obviously answer was "yes".
We then proceeded to have two 35 minute sessions of PPL lessons 4 -10 (not to the same level of proficiency as PPL) so that I could understand the 'planes controls - even landed the plane!*!*!
Luckily, my instructor is qualified to teach both.... - started PPL - therefore, I don't even have to switch instructors.
Only problem I've had is that, said instructor, is an extremely laid back grown up little boy with aero's (quite playful - flips in the "odd" Humpty bump to try and throw you - but it doesn't scare me!!!), but he's a strict examiner type in Flat.
Caused us to butt heads a bit at the beginning 'cos he didn't think I was serious about learning to fly when I was always cracking jokes but I think he's starting to understand me better now.
Have since been hooked to any and all types of flying in whatever plane is available whether right way up or upside down - only 14 1/2 hours in the bag (3 are aeros).
If weather ok next weekend I'm due to have a 2 hour session of Flat (circuits) and a 2 hour session of "Spinning" - parachutes, 10,000ft and throw ourselves at the ground.
Wonder which you think I'm most looking forward too???
Ain't life great????
