Must admit there are a few things that get me nervous after 80 hours this last year!!

mainly I get a bit worried when it starts to get a little bumpy during mid day etc.. dont know why really, I don't feel good not being 100% in control when wind and thermals are pushing me around, I'm constantly fixed on the ASI incase i stall and loose control!! This is something i need to get out of the habit of!! as it stops me enjoying flying, when its smooth i love it but as soon as it gets bumpy i start worrying about wings falling off for some reason!!

the other thing is failure of something in flight, a flight control,engine fail or similar!!

one thing though, as soon as i get near landing i'm already thinking about when i can get back up!!
