Georgia, Let me offer you a bit of advice in your student endeavor, something I learned from my father and was reenforced in the Navy. Rather than taking 1 hour lessons take shorter lessons of 1/2 to 3/4 hour. The reason for this is that in the beginning you fatigue too much in a 1 hour lesson. The idea is to quit while you are still in the learning curve before the fatigue sets in. It is best to end the lesson while you still are feeling good. The lesson sets in far better and you do not start making the dumb mistakes that fatigue produces which can be a bit discouraging. Remember "the mind can only absorb what the ass can stand", which is about 45 min. After that the you are on the down hill side of the learning curve. The other side is you fly more often. 2 half hour lessons will teach you more than one 1hr lesson. I was able to solo at 4.2 hours not because I was an outstanding student ( just naturally gifted :-) ) but because I was always at my peak for each lesson. Lest you think the conditions were ideal the weather was over 100 degrees every day during that period. The runway was 20 ft wide and 2200 feet long with an occasional mogul and 50' power lines 1000' off the departure end and on the arrival end there was a road you crossed over 50' from the end. It was a great place to learn and my instructor who I'm sure must have signed off Wilbur and Orvill was rather demanding. No solo until you could touch down within a 50' target and you had done at least one spin recovery. Fly often and stay fresh, you'll learn more and enjoy it more. If you are not enjoying each lesson, you have the wrong instructor or you are getting too tired. Dave
