Helen: "Oh shit, I think they saw me"
Elise: *HADOUKEN!!*
My backflying was slightly less pinball-like than last time (although slightly more like a helicopter blade that's got loose - uncontrolled spins for the lose), so that's looking hopeful. I do at least seem to have fixed most of my previous problems, even if I have discovered some new ones :) Got some helpfully simple and useful-sounding advice from both instructors we flew with today, plus I'm in for 10 minutes on Wednesday with a really good instructor, so hopefully I'll make some solid advances then. Starting to regain my excitement about the whole thing now, which is nice - the initial shock of how incredibly difficult backflying is did derail me somewhat.
Onward and upward, eh? :)
