First thing to do is consider changing your attitude about instructors. Simply forget everything you think you know about flying and contact a competent instructor. Tell yourself: "I need help so I will surrender my pride and get some help." You'll learn something, it'll be fun, and you'll make a new friend(s). And if your instructor goes over information you already know ... just keep quiet and politely listen to him go over information you think you already know. You may have learned the previously-learned information incorrectly.

And listen to John Buckner ... he's an experienced pro in my humble opinion. He has helped me.

Here come the flames!!! Oh nooooooooooo........!
