Being with a big group at Henstridge with lots of students, only one instructor, and a limit on wind conditions, I spent years instead of weeks getting my licence. It was invaluable time being around a large gyro group soaking up knowledge and others experiences.
I am sure that all of us at some stage have over-controlled in some situation or another, I certainly know I have, and embarrassingly not so long ago. When I have done so I find that I have unconsciously reverted to a death grip on the control column or in this last case the spade grip.
By releasing and obliging myself to go back to a light three fingered grip, I find that I revert back to smoother lighter manipulation of the controls and reducing my over-controlling.
