RE: Nexstar solo w/o Instructor...what are my odds?
jhrober01,
With all due respect, I have been in this hobby for 20 plus years and flew models at the local airport many years ago. I had many pilots and non pilots try their hand on a trainer. None of them could have successfully completed a flight without help. It took me a whole summer to solo. Put your odds on the Lottery and please find an instructor.
In all these years I knew one teen who soloed after only 5 lessons. To me that qualifies as a natural. But I believe he is the minority.
