Troy,
That's a fantastic post and probably very true, but ...........
Boy! is that complicated and hard to follow! Way too much analysis I think, even if it is accurate! I've never considered in such depths where the edges of the runway appear in my peripheral vision, indeed, most of the time I don't fly from defined "runways" anyway!
davidmolamphy,
IMHO, all that is needed is practice and a little more practice. I used to water ski, and I took forever to go from being on my bum with water blasting all over me to the point where I could stand. I had people falling over themselves to tell me how to do it ... none of the advice worked. Then one day for no apparent reason, it just clicked and I was skiing!!!! I think you'll find the same thing will happen with you, and it will happen a lot sooner if you can get more frequent lessons. Like others have said, don't be put off by the hours you have without going solo as it has no bearing on how you will turn out as a pilot.
