  1. Sounds like you have really cracked it, congrat's Landings was the thing I most struggled on and still am as I packed it in about a year and a bit. I think this will be the year that I either make or break as it seems a waste to have the kit sitting in storage. When I was doing it I did not get up as many times as you did but when i did here are the couple of things that threw me a bit. Take off's not too bad but when I got up a decent height and leveled off I found it very hard to let go of the brakes and park them as I always felt like the wing wanted to turn right. Even though it was probably only ever slightly turning I had a feeling I needed to keep the brakes in my hand to correct it. Then there was those moments when you look down at your feet and think wow I pretty high and then up at the wing/harness and think this is what is holding me on . I can only presume this feeling passes and is probably made a little bit easier if you are wearing a reserve. Landings for me were always nearly's. The first was thankfully into a freshly ploughed field(nice and soft) and the second I nearly made it on my feet before landing on my arse. But each time I always found that I got pendulem(spelling) swing coming in. IT would usually happen just after I turn off the motor and was out of the seat making final approach. IT would seem in most cases I would panic being so close to landing and over do it on the opposite brake making the pendulem even worse. Did this ever happen to you? Again mega kudo's and keep it up.
