Just wondering how everyone judges and assesses their progress over time. Also how much pressure do you all put on yourself for improvement.
Personally, I find it very difficult to judge and / or observe changes in my flying skill (or lack of) without reviewing recordings either on sim or at the field over time.
I find recording a sim session once a month or so a good way of judging how I'm progressing.
Here is a recent sim session recording on realflight, Basically because I don't feel like going to the field and have nothing better to do

As most of you know whilst I started flying in Jan 2015, I feel like my progress is slower than I would like it to be. I am very competitive by my very nature and find that I put a lot of pressure on myself to improve at something I put my efforts in to. In the long term this always results in my taking a break or moving on from the task I'm working on as I almost always end up taking it too seriously. That's me Mr Serious LOL.
Im going to try a more relaxed approach to heli flying in the coming months. You may not see me at the field as often as a result but hoping this changed approach helps me from not burning out on this hobby. Deep down I do really enjoy flying and as most of you have mentioned in response to my last post (lost the itch), it has been a perfect work stress release for me.
