I was nervous off and on for most of the first year of flying and only once in a while after that and that usually when I am tired and really don't feel like flying. Most of the time I find that I am just not nervous anymore. After you put about 400 flights or so on a plane the nervousness subsides, your confidence builds, and you really start to have a blast flying, especially with the cheaper planes.

I rarely get nervous anymore and I am not sure why. I will rarely fly a plane that I don't feel comfortable with or that is way out of my skill range. My Revolver 59 is about my limit, but I can really take it to the limit now.

I just feel so much more comfortable flying now and I have only been flying a little over two years. In the late fall will be my third AMA membership renewal so just a little over two years flying at this point.
