Pace ,
I really like that idea, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I will admit that the runway thing scares me in that it is pretty much surrounded by water and not much room for error ( busy-ish airspace too)
I think I am improving (my instructor says I am)but I don't think the crosswind helped much last night. Although the biggest improvement from my point of view is I did actually feel the stuff that the instructor was pointing out to me.
I'm not sure how to describe what I mean but it was really the first time that I'd "felt" the plane sink or "felt" the crosswind push me to the side.
I guess the next phase is working on what do do when I feel those things.
It'll come slowly I'm sure . I just really appreciate the advice. I think I'm quite a high maintenance student in that I need constant reassurance that I'm doing OK
