After flying every other weekend (well mostly every other weekend) for the past 18 months I'm now flying figure of 8's, and much more confident. The problem with only flying every other weekend is that for the first few batts you're brushing the dust off your flying and getting back to where you were last time you flew and by that time it's time to go home so progress is slow.

Still don't have a sim so need to invest in a PC or laptop that will run one so I can get more stick time in.

Fingers crossed the summer is a dry one and I can get more stick time in up the flying field.
