OK - I've read the posts before. But now I'm just about
to the solo point, and am feeling that I'm not having any
fun now.
I am embarassed by my peformance.

I'm really frustrated today and haven't even booked another flight
because I'm pretty underconfident at the moment.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Gary,

I've often found, for myself, that I suck worst JUST before the "click".
that indefinable moment when it starts to come together on a particular
maneuver or procedure.

Early on, once I was cleared for solo, I went up by myself and did nothing
but landings because I was unhappy with them. One after another.

first 11 were just awful. Rotten. Then, all of the sudden, the 12th was
pretty good. From there it was onwards and upwards.

Lots of people feel embarassed at one point or another. Feel like the
present problem presents an insuperable wall. But they get through it.

I won't presume to try and convince you of staying with it, but just recall
you aren't the first person to be in this situation. and lots of them got
though just fine.
