Moved last year had soloed and been flying but after moved had to stop for a while now I'm nervous getting back to it have own flight field but no one around to buddy box me for flight again so have to step up and do it my self any tips about getting back to it without crashing been practicing and keeping sharp on sim.

Relax, you probably haven't forgotton how to fly. Like riding a bicycle, once the instincts have been learned, you remember them. I have returned to flying after a long lapse and though I was nervous, once the plane was airborne, everything just came back to me.

Knocking knees and butterflies in your stomach will probably be normal when you go to take off. Just be sure to ride it out, keep the plane flying, and you'll settle down after a couple of minutes in the air.

I once took about 6 months off due to work. Wasn't even home to see my planes. When I returned home, I was really nervous about going up again. So I took my trusty 4*60, advanced the throttle and up she went. About 15 seconds later, it was like I'd never took the 6 months off.

You'll be fine. Go for it.

You could take a short drive up to my club field

and get a few flights on a buddy box. Or visit another club.
Let me know if you need field address.
