Evo,. .. .Don't let it get to you, I think the sudden spate of fine weather has thrown a lot of people off. We've all be so used to flying with strong x-wind, dodging heavy cloud etc etc. . .. .My last lesson (7th March) was awful, did 6 landings and had to do 2 go-arounds as my approaches were way too fast and the ones I did land on were a bit too firm. Bearing in mind it was a lot better than the one prior to that when on the downwind leg and doing my BUMFICHH check truncated version... carb heat..looks good..hatches..*gives door a push to check it's secure* door flies open. I could have sworn that was secure on take-off.. .. .I think I spent a good couple of hours after my lesson beating myself up over how terrible I did.. .. .so don't let it get you down, I'm still waiting to do my first solo, so I'll let you know if my session after the solo was any good.. . . . <small>[ 25 March 2002, 21:29: Message edited by: djk ]</small>
