Well Ugyen I am glad you are seeking guidance to help you progress. Don't worry about how many hours it takes you to nail the landing and that very special solo. Once in a 2 to 3 foot stable hover lowering the collect 1mm will make the nose lower slightly and initiate the landing. The nose dropping slightly will make the helicopter want to move forward and I suspect you trying to stop this which is causing you to then over control. Like others have said, let it move forward and the helicopter will land itself. Once you have mastered this phase you can work on a very precise landing. Keep at it and make Bhutan proud.
