Been there. I remember shortly after getting my PPL being checked out in an ARV2. Bit of power left on produces a VERY nice wing drop, naturaly to the left, and I recall looking out of the window straight onto the M25. Friggin hated it.
A few years later after doing an FI rating, I could not get enough spinning. It's quite daunting early on when learning to fly, when you have enough on your plate without being thrown around, but once you are confortable with the basics, the rest usualy will soon follow.
With me I have to say looking back on it, it was more a case of trusting what I was in not to fall apart than anything else..... Silly I know, but that's the way it was.
Regards
