Hi - SP here, flare frsutration!

Thought I would join up and say hi. Since I started flying, this forum has turned up a lot on my google searches! Seems to be a good resource for those learning.

Anyway, broke my knee about 8 months ago now in a trail bike accident and was banned from riding and sailing (my other hobbies). Always wanted to fly, surgeon was happy for me to go up provided I waited a few months after my knee reconstruction. I cant sit still and do nothing, so I took the opportunity to start flying!

So here I am, 16 hours down and doing circuits. Circuit after circuit getting more and more frustrated because I cant quite get that landing just right! Training at an aero club, so I get a mix of instructors who are all really great! I am sure I will get there soon! I have googled heaps on getting that flare correct, and read a lot of threads here. Of course any more tips are welcome!
