tdm1011,

I echo what everyone else has said, stick with it!

Your senses are probably a little overwhelmed and you get sick as your brain tries to make heads or tails of your position in space. We don't usually have sensations of up and down, side to side, etc. on terra firma. Watching what you eat and timing your meal before a lesson is also important-at first. Eventually your will become quite immune to most of the sensations of flight (assuming non-aerobatic flight).

Lastly, I would like to know why your instructor ran the trim so hard, especially early in training. Communicate what makes you feel comfortable and not comfortable. On the other hand maybe his trim use was 'normal' but you still felt uncomfortable. Either way foster good communication on comfort levels-in a one-on-one training environment don't be afraid to speak up. That's what I tell my students; It's just you and me, and I want you to feel comfortable talking out your thoughts and feelings and leave the macho stuff to Hollywood.

The best to you
