You'll be suprised how responsive they are. I was up in one of my friends a while back, he let me have ago, and said to turn right. Turned it just abit, and almost did a barrel roll

I did it from Cranfield airport and, apparently, did the landing at the end. Oh, and the taking off

Much like driving though, in that the instructor does all the difficult bits, you just push the wheel in the right direction!

Its quite easy. As a new pilot you will only have limited use. You won't be taking off or landing. You will control the plane in flight and its quite simply to actually fly a plane (yes, I have flown a Chipmonk whilst in my Air Cadet days).

Its the logic behined flying that takes the time to learn. Get that sorted, and then its all about getting man hours flying in the air.

Sounds good! I already know the logic just never took the plunge hence being scared But also think it will be good to help over come my fear and ask the pilot 94037693476 questions

doesn't quite have the same effect when you pull a gun on board a plane that you have paid to fly in the first place.
