Default When do you Solo?

Thanks! Everyone for the great advice. Everyone says practice but having all the steps memorized in my head before I get to the flight line seems to help me a lot. I think I have taken off and landed about a million times in my head.

bgorham you hit it right on the head as far as my situation goes. The club I usually go to has training on Wednesday nights and getting off work and getting there in time usually leads to little flight time especially with all the other newbs like myself. I found a field about 40 mins away that has far less people there. There is an instructor I met who I enjoy working with. Since that field is less busy I like to go there since he can spend a good part of the afternoon with me. The drive makes weeknights tuff for me after work so I usually have to stick with Saturdays and hope for good weather.
