Hi,
Learning to fly (for me anyway) has been like a rollercoaster ride. One minute your on top of the world after your solo and solo nav ex's. The next your down in the dumps after a rubbish hour of circuits, where you havent managed one good landing, have stuttered your radio calls, and forgot half of your downwind checks.
Expect to sacrifice your social life somewhat and to be permenantly semi-skint. Expect the buzz of excitement preflight and the elation postflight, presuming you have a good lesson and vice versa.
Pre-solo crapping yourself is perfectly acceptable, I certainly have been there and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
It's all been worth it so far after 2 years of being on this rollercoaster; no complaint here!
Enjoy.
H.
