well Im like 5 foot eight inches so I dont think Im all that short. I dont know, its just that everyone Ive seen who flies seems to just be comfortable as can be in the plane. I dont know if its inexperience or what, just nothing seems.....like it fits? I mean is this going to go away as I get more time? One thing that gets me is if I really go as far as I need to forward, the yoke is up in my knees...obviously dangerous. Just back from that...its OK and I can fly fine. Its all I can do to read those little hash marks on the altimeter when Im setting it...just little things like that that drive me nuts.


But my biggest question for all: I always feel like the plane is flying me and not the other way around. My instructor told me I try too hard. It surely seems to fly just fine without much effort. Ive only learned that recently. Does that "touch" required come with time, or is this something I need to teach myself? And how does one do that?
