Hi guys,
So I had my first flying lesson this week. The usual story: lifetime ambition, finally in a position to afford it etc. Thing is, I've been left a little bit underwhelmed by the experience.
I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it, but I found it a lot more stressful than I had anticipated. I was quite nervous controlling the aircraft - which I expected - but I also found myself getting frustrated. If I'm honest I think a part of it was the instructor didn't make it abundantly clear when I was supposed to be in control of the aircraft. I guess this should have been obvious, but it put me on edge a bit!
In all honesty, I had expected to be completely blown away by the experience, whereas now I am wondering whether it's worth continuing
Just wondering if anyone else took a while to get into it or was it a case of being bitten by the bug as soon as the wheels left the tarmac?
