Thank you all very much for your encouragement and advice ( though I must admit that the bit about yaw strings was a bit over my head
)
I am quite excited at the prospect of getting airborne again.
Thanks especially for the link OC619, very informative.
I have booked a lesson for next month and will report back on how it goes.
I was particularly delighted to learn from Shy Torque that I am still standing, hope you gave me a wave
Thanks again, watch this space,
Shedsie
