DBCherry, lol!
I have noticed that to. One thing that my instructor was worried about was that I would want to take it to fast. There was another person who started taking lessons the same time that I did. I worked for a month, and worked on my banking, figure eights, flybys, takeoffs, rectangles, etc. I wanted them as near perfect as possible. This other guy, wanted to get into a 3D plane. He was atempting to do takeoffs on the third week. Atempting, that is. I have a plane in good condition right now, and am working towards my second (4*40). He is starting to build his second trainer, as he crashed the first.
That is what I think of everytime I read... "Just soloed, what should I get, a moderate 3D, or advanced 3D"
