Well done Jan
What a pity that wind on the first lesson.
By reading your emotions I got quite jealous. I had my first (try) lesson a couple of years ago and not continued with the "silly" excuse of lack of time
I wish, at least you, will keep on till the last lesson. Good flights
After some 45 minutes dancing and shaking in the winds, the instructor wanted to make a last tour of the city of Nivelles but I was very tired,
So true. Flying, especially when the weather isn't ideal, can be tiring. On the flip side though (for me) if the weather is nice, it's just like driving a car!! Keep up the posts, as an instructor myself, I'd like to hear how your progress goes. Oh, and one more thing, welcome to the world of pilots!!!!!

I'm a ULM piot too, I fly the OO-E12 (Eurofox Rotax 912) in Hoevenen.
Previous I'v flown the OO-B30 (Wheedhopper) @ EBAV Avernas,
the OO-C71 (Coyote with Rotax 503), OO-D04 (Coyote with Rotax 582) and OO-E47 (Eurofox) @ Hoevenen.
I don't know if they have Air cadet Squadrons in your country, but if they do! join now. A cheap way to fly and a very good experience for future aviators.
-) consider gliding! for one example, there's a yearly summer camp at EBZR, check it out at www.kazm.be this is specially aimed at young people though the minimum age is 16 also, alas for you!
That's how I started!! I started flying gliders every summer when I was 15 and I soloed at 16!! Try it, it's so much more peaceful than having a buzzing engine.
