Don't beat yourself up after a bad task.
Analyse your task. Fly your own task.. Know your instruments. Quiet and meditation before takeoff. How to pass 120 people... Pick them off.. Thermal markers. Calculate, be confident.
Macedonia and krushevo.. Like a European Colombia.. Such a generous place. Such a great place! Any level can fly there. I love it!
Great places to fly.do your own thing, fly your own flight.. Be safe. The herd mentality.
