Aaaahhh so thats where the name's from. Thats good flying.

.........to fly whenever an Instructor is available.

That is when the dammin weather plays along. Been in the situation where I book three hrs a week, and the weather plays havoc on four of those, mist in the morning, rain midday and thunder showers late afternoon..

Hi all thanks for keeping this topic alive,in the past month or two i have been trying to get myself organzised so that i can finish my licence and join all the big boys in the adventure,but all i have tryed has failed so there wont be any update on my progress for the next few months,flying only one hour a month is just not enough,but ill keep my spirites and hope for the best!!!!

Where are your eyes focussed? Don't focus on the runway between your feet but rather on the end of the runway. Allow lateral vision to give you the height above the ground.
