Just want to thank everyone for their input.
For the record, I am not lazy or inept! I just don't "get on" with my instructor.
I had a few lessons with the CFI and really improved during that period. Problem is there is only one instructor and the CFI and he is busy. I will talk to him but don't want to create a bad atmosphere!
This was an awful lot of money for me, and a life dream. I really want it to be safe, instructive but also fun!
best wishes to all
