Glint, your definitly not alone... I had quite a bit oftrouble with this.. and my instructor always tells me to put my bum on the center line... practice it when you are taxiing.. should be the same "sight picture"

Reading "tales of the south pacific" at the moment... Seems pretty good. Just finished "ghost in the wires" by Kevin mitnick... A name any old nerd like myself should be familiar with. Both are non fiction though

Does the tailwheel in the p51 retract with the mains? In the photo purported to be just before impact the tailwheel is out... Could mean he had dumped the gear in attempt to wash speed? I'm sure someone can prob explain better

Looks good mate... And if I can pose a rude question? What is the going rate to hire a r22 or r44? A friend of mine at work is dead keen to learn to fly the real thing after getting into rc copters

To paraphrase biggles... "Don't cross the line under ten thousand feet, and always look for the pole in the sun"

Darky, I can sympathize, I get airsickness at times, and those that say it's psychological are largely right I think. An example of this is the second last solo I did before I get signed off. Myself and the cfi did some efato drills, landed, he got out, told me to go off for an hour. So off i went... Was a pretty rough day, plenty of pot holes in the sky. I could feel myself starting to feel sick (straight after I though "geez hope I don't get sick"). Flew for another 5 mins or, thinking about whether I could tough it out. Decided to err on the side of caution and had back to the aerodrome. As soon as I made that decision and started preparing to enter he circuit, and actually actively started using my brain, I felt better... By the time I had landed and taxied back, I felt right as rain. As for nausea pills, I sometimes take blackmores travel calm ginger pills. They seem to work, or the placebo affect does. Either way, gets the desired effect. As for nausea pills, sometimes take blackmores

Hmm ok thanks blackrod... As long as I can reach the rudder pedals is my biggest drama, being rather vertically challenged at about 166 or so
