Bigger runway? Oh gawd, there's no hope for me, I fly out of Luton <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> . .. .Lots of good advice in the links, cheers.. .. .I've identifed some of my problems...... .My seat was too far back, I had it set up like I do in my car, I couldn't use full rudder!!!!. .My instructor reckons (and he's right) that I'm using the same force on the rudder and aileron controls when cross controling. I end up straight down the runway and overbanked or I control the drift and point the wrong way.. .. .It's not a race, I'm not going to give up and I've got a bottle of champagne waiting to celebrate my first greaser <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
