Advice on being stuck on private!
Hello! For some background, I have been flying for a almost 3 years now, I started summer of of my junior year in high school and started out in a lightsport, It took me a while but I solo'd in it as well, and had almost finished up all of my requirements but I couldn't seem to stall the plane for the power off stalls, or at least without pulling it at an angle so my rollout wasn't neat. This is becuase I'm pretty short and use a lot of pillows to reach the rudders which make it pretty hard to pull the joystick back enough to stall it, we tried trimming it but I just couldn't seem to get it, so I ended up switching instructors and planes to a C172 and have been able to stall it but now I'm really struggling with landings and am in a rut with all of this. I love flying, and I really want my Private and an eventual career in flying but it feels like I'm stuck and have been for so long now. I also have had to take breaks in flying since I'm paying for it myself through scholarships and working, and just full time college has been rough with all of this, I'm just not really sure what to do - I feel like my instructor is losing hope with how long I've been at this. I don't want to quit but I'm not sure when to walk away. I just need some advice on next steps or familiar experience!
