I also had difficulty with orientation. Resulted in a busted up Senior, rebuilt it and am flying again. I've also learned to let it come into final approach with 2 or 3 clicks of throttle above idle, this keeps the elevator much more responsive and sink rate is a little slower; with this I am able to more consistenly make a smooth landing. Another lesson learned; altitude gives you time.Looks like a calm day out, think we'll go flying, Mike.
