RE: Boy do I need help
I'll toss another thought in....
If you just soloed this past August...I would go back and fly the trainer.... fly it until the wings fall off...
I have seen VERY impressive flying with a trainer (not by me, but by an instructor)
Spend more time with the trainer... can you do all the tricks you want with your trainer??
IMHO the trusty trainer needs for attention....
Just my .02
