That was in a glider in France, great fun but while I speak French reasonably fluent i still have to translate inma head. and lack some vocubulary.
So the pilot let me on the controls, but I felt very unconfortable with his instructions as I had some delay on his instructions imma head + delay on the controls so It all felt very laggy.
Pretty sure its not something I can't overcome, but at age one does get a bit slower on the uptake for such things.
And I really want instruction in English (prefer that over Dutch ;I think English for many things, complicated things ; i'll think it english odd for a flemish native i know)
I really think I could get up and flying, but with most hobbies I wanna do it all the way properly.
I do not want to go in on a slow pace spread out over years to PPL because I don't think thats the right way. Timely practice is key for good instruction.
Especially since I typically don't learn by instruction but by doing.
Same with Shooting , you can't get really good if you only shoot 100 rounds a year.
When I was shooting , I was probably putting 4K rounds a year in , shooting every week. and it paid off.
Right now I can't commit enough time or money to do that kind of effort and consistency to learn to fly. Unlike shooting or driving a car, its harder to get your practice.. can't just decide on a whim to go for some flying, at home get in and take off.. it's not even as easy as deciding to go to the range in the afternoon for some shooting.
I don't do the fam flight for the simply reason I'll want more and will be in a jam that way.
Had booked and paid for a P51 flight (Robin Olds old bird) in 2020.. but Covid cancelled First attempt... and then the 2nd date: The weekend before my flight, they had engine problem, metal flakes and turns out supercharger had damaged and engine had to get rebuild
Now 22, they still havent got SCAT back airborn and owner is probably not going to do any further paid rides when it does get back
