All that has been said is right on. There are a lot of factors to get to solo. It seemed to me like it was taking forever and I thought the instructors were getting iritated with my pace. Looking back I doubt that they were getting iritated about it at all. They are really nice to me. Anyway, just keep doing what you're doing and it will just click together. What got me to turn the corner was after I had crashed my Avistar about 4 times and rebuilt it. It was frustrating but I finally got to where I didn't care if I totalled it or not I just kept flying. After I started landing and taking off. Now it just comes natural.
