I'm on the point of giving up

Approaching 300 hours - the club is OK, the a/c are OK, the finances are OK, but my hours have dropped from 35/yr to about 12 this year.

It started over a year ago when I did some aerobatic training with some highly qualified people. I think, then I realised what a crap pilot I was. Also, on one occasion, by the time I had realised that the situation looked like a developing spin, the instructor had already initiated recovery.

In short - loss of confidence.

When I regained my licence a few years ago, I thought I would never "not enjoy" flying, but somehow the fun has gone out of it. As whirly said - time just moves on!
