It can be done, just keep trying.

First b4 you take of adjust the pitch forward 10 degrees, this makes it easier to control when u get to 2000 ft. once at 2000 ft reduce power to two thirds. get straight and level first theres no rush. turn left and bank 45 degrees, take it easy and watch the vertical speed indicator as it falls start pulling back to keep it level, as you go round its important to increase power slightly to keep you from falling out the sky, its all part of the manouvear. 10 degrees from East level out hopefully your still around 2000 feet and she'll say "good job" and point you to the airfield at 120 degrees. Oh its the airfield the other side of the river not the one by the bridge as I found out. Best luck Phil.
