Well before I tell you why I have posted on this subject I should first explain what brought me to the point of worrying that I may get cocky.

First let me put this into perspective. 2 weeks ago I flew a trainer for the first time. It wasn't my trainer but someone else's plane. I flew about 10 minutes and that was it. Anyways weather wasn't good after that and then this last week I was on vacation. Today I went out and flew my own trainer this time because I got a hold of a patch cord and another Tx. My instructor took off gave me control and the airplane stalled after 2 minutes. He brought her down. Then the same thing happened again a second time. So we worked on the engine about 10 to 15 minutes and we got her up again. Well anyways he thought I was doing well and told me to try some low passes aligned with the runway. So I did. The first pass I was about 15 to 20 feet over the runway when the a/c passed me and got it down to about 8 feet before I floored it and brought it back up. The second pass I was about 5 feet over the runway when the aircraft passed me and I could have put it down. The third pass I landed the aircraft as if I had been doing it for years. I was at the same altitude in both the second and third pass. Everyone was very amazed including my instructor who never had to take the controls after letting me take em.

Now the problem. I know I'm not that knowledgable in this sport and I have a lot to learn and I was fairly lucky as well. But I can't help but feel that I'm good. And I feel like I'm getting cocky and thinking that I'm invincable. This is where the problem is because people say that when you start getting overconfident and cocky that's where you put a plane knee deep in the ground. How do you cope with that.
