Yup, I am hooked. Too many hobbies!!

EdBarret, I like switching between instructors. They are all really good, and each bring a new perspective to it. Each time I get hooked up one thing, flying with a new instructor seems to just pick up on the one thing I am doing wrong that may be insignificant to the last. Its helped me lot so far.

I am pretty good at analysing my problems, my engineer background probably helps. I know what I am doing wrong. Approach is generally ok (for a 16 hour pilot). Round out ok mostly, but I tend to over correct. Ie, pull back to hard, ballon, then pitch down. I am being to hard on the elevator.

I had a think about it tonight. Going to request to stop doing the touch and go for now, try and fly the plane on the runway with no power. Focus on attitude rather than landing. Thoughts? Its not a busy airstrip, so taxing back out for another circuit should not take to long.
