I've seen a few people post here with some flight numbers, and a few complained their instructor held on to them for too long.

I think my instructor wants me to solo too soon - but I wanna see what others say in terms of time of instruction.
I know of an instructor who can give numbers and more than likely the student will learn to fly very skillfully within that time frame. Many have earned their solo wings with this instructor within a couple of hours (same day), but on the average, it takes around 6 hours (2-3 days). He teaches take offs and full down landings on the very first lesson, BTW.
