That sounds familiar, I made it to going solo and doing solo circuits then I developed a completely irrational fear of flying and gave up I'm still a nervous flyer now. Are you nervous flying in airliners Cloudship?
Not a bit. I do have a really bad fear of height, but even being inside a small plane I didn't really have an issue with it. It was just the stalls themselves. I can't even do a kiddie roller coaster, so that might be part of it. After that I think I was just so caught up in worrying about being in control of the aircraft that I stopped enjoying the whole just being up in the air bit.

However, I did know someone who was taking lessons at the same time who told me she was struggling with that a bit herself. We lost contact when I gave up flying, but I know she got her license at somepoint, so she somehow found a way to overcome it.
