thanks guys.
my intsructortold me he wants to have one more day of flying with me before he cuts me loose to show me how to do some loops and rolls. the good thing is that he is an actual airforce pilot so he uses some of the same standards as the military. I find it easier that way because it gets me into a routine when I get to the field. I have seen other instructors with their students talk away with other flyers at the field while the student is wondering what to do. I guess i lucked in
