Thanks guys,

I'll try all the above.

I'm curently doing a lot of touch and go landings and practicing nice slow approaches and as previously said, trying to use throttle to control decent. More specifically trying to land on the same piece of turf over and over again. My main reason for this is that I'm going to look at joining a club over the coming weeks as I just want somewhere I can fly when ever I want. My usual fields have recently been used by football (soccer to most of you boys), or the grass has been allowed to grow that long that I can't take off on it. Gets a bit frustrating and I usually end up on a field that is too small or too close to houses.

So I need to be able to land on a runway. I guess my biggest obstacle will be landing in a cross wind. Any tips on this? Should I be using rudder (with aileron correction) to get the plane tracking straight?
