i flew for the first time in 3 months the other weekend, and also had to do a club check. i knew what i was supposed to be doing, but my circuits were rather scruffy to say the least. i got it on the ground safely each time though, and the instructor was pleased enough to let me lose again -- more fool him!! i felt a bit funny, so spent an hour the next day just going round and round in the circuit getting some practice in.
it does all come flooding back though very quickly, and the club check is definitely a good idea. he knew i was safe, and sent me off with some pointers that got me back into it in no time!!
