Hi Tim congratulations,
Well I had lesson 2 today and found very quickly why you need a conversion for these things. My first attempt at a full take off and managed to make a right b***s of it. If anyone was watching they would have wondered why a cub was weaving from one side of the runway to the other with a mildly concerned instructor in the back....
It was a case of too much rudder too soon, followed by not enough and too late - and / or the other way round.
I think the lesson I had 2 weeks ago led to a false sense of security.
I then followed through on the first landing followed by a second take off with more weaving only not quite as much this time - I wouldn't say better just different.
After the 3rd circuit I was getting to grips with the speed on base and final and started to get close to pulling off a landing. Ahh small victories. The next few circuits followed a similar pattern with a different mistake each time (I blame tiredness after a hectic week at work - probably not the case but I need to blame somthing, it couldn't have been lack of ability
)
Thankfully after and hour of frustration, on my final circuit I pulled off a half decent take off and a virtually unassisted 3 pointer. I started to get a bit more feel for whats required and have another lesson tomorrow so I can sleep on today and try and put it into practice again tomorrow.
Ill drop you a PM Tim, it would be good to talk it through over a beer, as long as MY sweaty palms can grip the glass
