I had a hard time learning to land properly. Started learning at age 50 in a glider at High Wycombe, then visiting my sister in Maryland, had an hour of circuits in a 152 on the Eastern Shore just over the Bay Bridge; wind perpetually cross. So was the instructor. Everytime I got near to touch, he had control.
So back to Booker, and dear old Dudley Steynor, who used to instruct in Tiger Moths during WWII. He said I was over controlling, and asked me to put my left hand on my right wrist, and that simple trick cured the problem.
Since then done approx 8,000 landings and havn't bent anything yet.
