I had my first lesson under the Hood this past weekend, as an introduction
to instrument flying.  Didn't do too good.  My altitude was all over the
place and I had trouble keeping the wings level.

It was a bright sunny day and, of course, quite bumpy.  The thermals were
unusually strong for November and my instructor insisted on flying at
2500 feet, which is only about 1500 feet AGL in this area.

I started having some motion sickness.  Does anyone else have this problem,
and what can I do about it?  I had it when I first started 1.5 years ago,
but thought I got over it.  It appears to have come back, particularly under
the hood.

Jim
