Mark,
In 25 years on the web or its predecessors, I've posted to many guys getting back in. WELCOME!
It appears true that flying ukie is like riding a bicycle. You never forget how.
What you DO forget is how much work it is, and how wobbly you can get...
That, like everything else, passes. When it locks-in for you, all the butterflies will be forgot, and the joy will be worth it.
Like a drunk, it may be better never to get sober - that's when the hangover begins - but a sip or two kills both first flight butterflies and that other guy's problems.
