Thanks guys,
I had a brief lesson yesterday, actually not a lesson per say, we flew around for about 30 minutes just to get me use to being in the air. I wasn't as nervous, but the bumps still got me a little bit.
My instructor suggested we just go slow, and get me use to being in the air, with some training mixed in for now. That makes sense to me, and she is being awesome about the cost, so thankfully that isn't a factor.
I'll keep updating this thread... My hope is to fly 2-3 times per week, and hopefully it will all start to come together in time. At 49, I'm in no rush, and happy to go slow.
