Default RE: the shakes

I've been flying now for two years, and I have found that when I try a new maneuver to me, or I have a problem with taking off or landing in a crosswind, I will still develop the shakes on occasions, and in particular when maidening a new plane. You might consider what I and others do at our flying field. We have movable protective barriers in the shape of a !QUOT!V!QUOT! that protrude from the protective fence that runs parallel with our grass field. We will move those !QUOT!V!QUOT! shaped barriers to a position in front of one of the fence post that is about 3 feet high, and then lean against that fence in a semi standing-sitting position. It is amazing what it will do to help relax you. You might consider giving this a try. If the problem persist, consider the advise PARRTHD has given you.

Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first, and the lesson later!
