Looks like a really smart plane! Instructors seem very engaging and you are very pro-active in your thinking! Good flying, I used to have to be reminded to use rudder a lot as well when I was learning. Wish you all the best in your flying for many years to come!
Well done. Remember to make that down wind radio call with your intentions. Consider incremental flap settings on approach. You probably don`t need 30 degrees until you are 1/2 mile or less from the threshold. I didn't hear your instructor say this, but if you start your decent when making your base turn with 10 degrees flap, you can maintain airspeed with a decent rate of 500'/min. If you do this, you will be 500' above ground when you turn final. If you continue to maintain that same decent rate of 500'/min, you'll grease it on every time. Once you figure out where to throw in the necessary flap, you'll hardly every touch the throttle. Happy flying.
No flap increments 10 downwind 20 base 30 only on final didnt clear the runway completely before doing after landing checks. If it was a controlled airport you would get yelled at for blocking a taxi way. As well no clearing call after landing to let others know your out of the way. Speed on downwind keep the speed up in a slow cessna if a twin is behind you they would have a hell of a time keeping back. As well with increased speed you get better cooling and better forward visibility.

About how many hours do you have flying?
Niiiiiice! But you forgot to radio your intentions when you were turning final the second time. :)
Thinking the same thing.
Also took off (tap'n go)With flaps 30°?
+Michael Chalmers : I wondered about that also, full power, flaps away immediately
His instructor got the flaps when he was rolling.
He doesn't need to announce his intentions at all actually. It's recommended. Airplanes without radios fly into uncontrolled fields all the time
