First the Co-Pilot: I like the idea of being able to practice with out my instructor, strictly for time reasons(we can only meet once a week), and having a device that saves my butt will give confidence to do it. I also feel like cheating if I relay solely on it instead of polishing my skills.

Now the landings, you know... Think I got it, something that David said is very, very true, when I nail a couple landings on the runway and after the bounces the engine still running, that give me confidence, and help me to relax, relax, relax, I felt cool, and then 2 landings without bounces, very soft, nice glide, I was in heaven.

I found that to me was easy to make a big 180 glide turn to align my plane that the usual 90 - 90, sure I'm using a sprinkler and a distance telephone post as a reference, but that help me, now I have to polish my elevator - throttle landing skill, I'm also trying to make the last alignment correction with the ruder; should I do this or keep with the aileron, I feel that the aileron banking was causing me troubles on the last alignment maneuvers just before touchdown.

I don't know, but last week when I crash twice while trying to land I felt awful, but my men this is going to be a greeeeaaaaattt week after those landing.

I'm doing great with the plane control in the air, doing circles and 8, but will appreciate some input regarding take off the plane almost flip over after it climb 4 or 6 feet.
