Well said.... I wanted to give the older guys score cards when I started flying... you feel like they judge everything that you do sitting behind you...lol
You shouldn't think of it like that. When everyone stops to watch you fly, it's because they have taken an interest in your progress...not because they are judging you. Or it just might be that they are waiting to see one go in. Since newbies are more likely to do it, they pay attention.
As for the shakes...I think as time goes and the more familiar you are with a plane helps. Although I think the shakes will come and go...just waiting for that charge of adrenaline, to bring em back . [X(]
