I can take off fine, and if I pilot carefully, I have no problem flying either, but landing with the plane flying towards me is so difficult to learn. Any pointers?

Thanks again guys, and my P-51 thanks you too!

Hey Tom,
I teach my students to "get in the cockpit", [>:] that is, imagine as though you are in the plane and you see everything from that point of view. It will take a little bit of practice to make the mental transfer, but it works very well and before long, you don't even realize your doing it, and you're tearing up the sky.

I'm glad to hear that you got a trainer. It'll make you love your PONY even more and give you a much better likelihood of getting many very enjoyable flights from her.
