Genghis, many thanks for your comments. Yes Rob does indeed seem to be very genuine and certainly a skilled pilot. Im sure I will enjoy learning from him. Yes the cessna instructor at cranfield did want me to look at the attitude indicator a lot specially when doing turns etc to look at my bank angle and pitch. So naturally I assumed every plane has one! Its a learning experience. Dynafoam.. I will certainly try and find a suitable cushion for myself. I need something to sit on and something to support my back too as the pedals are not so comfortable to reach at the moment. On my first lesson I will try the one Rob has to offer and see if it helps
IPZ, thanks for the tip about the pylons! Ill watch for them in my first lesson. Although I hope that farmer will light a fire for me too!
Batninth, thats pretty funny! Is there meant to be a runway in that picture though!? I certainly cant see it!
