Borzak, where do you fly at in Texas?
BTW: for me my solo probably took longer than necessary because I just wasn't comfortable. I think that if your instructor is any good, if you just tell him that you aren't ready yet, then he'll be fine with that. When I was training my instructor kept telling me that he thought I was ready, but not to cut the cord until I thought I was ready. That's the only important thing. If you don't think you are ready, a crash is probably very near in your future.
I'm flying in LA now. I travel between the states in my profile. I have a place in East Texas near Nacogdoches where I stay a lot - but there's not a club (that I know of) plus once I learn I've got literally thousands of acres of open pasture to play with.
My instructor wanted me to solo after 3 flights, I haven't endangered the plane yet while flying (that I know of) but it seemed pretty fast compared to some people I talked to. I had to leave so we'll see next time I'm out there.
