Crash, do you have a simulator?

If so here is what I would do....Load up a big floaty 3D airplane on it, and every night practice learning to hover it, try to learn how to let it even torque roll in a hover if you can. I wanted to know how to do that, and to my amazement after I learned how to hover decent, my REALTIME flying improved a bunch. Hovering will teach you to use that left hand much better on the sticks. I steer better on takeoff, my throttle response is automatic, and I even find myself mixing rudder in for nicer turns and landing..Before my left hand was barely helping the flights. I can almost promise you even if you HATE 3D flying..if you practice some everynight, your flying skills will improve. I would say my level went from the bottom third of the club..to maybe the top third...Also a flat foamie made out of the blue fan fold foam will have you sharpening your skills.

I was shocked at how much more realistic and scale I could fly after practicing how to hover. I seldom practice anymore, but you retain it fairly well.

Good luck to you..oh, and I have always been a person that can get nervous flying..so I relate.
