I feel like I have hit a wall (not literally) in learning to fly. I feel comfortable launching, but I have a problem with turns. I am not cross controlling. When I turn, sometimes it goes into an extreme bank, sometimes it doesnt turn at all. Then there is the wind that is bouncing me around too. I feel like I dont have the right touch to have a good control over the turns and to maintain a heading. Other people I see soaring the ridge as soon as they have mastered launching. I dont understand why I am the only one who seems to have this problem. I feel comfortable launching, but if I have to make a few turns to get into the LZ, it is almost impossible for me. Did anybody else have this problem? How long does it take to get over this?
