True. If you expect to be capable of doing Red Bull Air Races or unlimited display aerobatics after eight lessons, you need to think again.
I am not sure whether you are making another point that was never raised (nothing wrong in that) or commenting on my earlier post.
Whichever you are right, eight lessons will at best achieve a basic level of competance from which to start learning your trade. In my experience some will be far from comfortable after eight lessons but inevitably a few will take to it like a duck out of water.
I always doubted my ability to recover when things went wrong and it took me a long time to convince myself that I could probably cope with most eventualties (if not all
).
