Good advice.
Been a gliding instructor myself, and driving instructor, and now flight instructor. Don't suppose you can get some cheap flying cos if you can just do a running commentry, out loud(that bit's important), of every thought you are having.
If you can't get the extra flying then do it in your car. The important thing is do it out loud. Don't practise patter in your head, that's what we're all doing when we fly. You need to train your gob to keep up with your hands and feet. Eventually your mouth will second guess your next move which studes catch on to alot easier too.
"When I move the control column to the left the aircraft will roll to the left....."....start moving c/c here..."...and will continue to roll until......."
Try and say it before you do it....see what I mean???
Experience is the key. You will get there. Have fun doing it!
Let us know how it goes
