I suppose I am a very old guy, I took the plunge for a PPL when I was 52yrs, I soloed at 19hrs and passed PPL at 40hrs,

at six/Seven hours I almost gave up becuase I found staying in one spot whilst hovering extremely difficult, but Lady FI wound up my mans superior brains cells by saying
"Look if I can do this , so can you",,, mentally squeezing my nuts like that made it worse, so off we went for a coffee, half an hour later out again and hey I found the sweet spot and managed to connect eyes, arse and hand together, I could then hover dead still time after time, so Old Dogs can learn new tricks, all it needs is a coffee..!
