I went solo ofter 18 hours.

This was basically due to cr p instruction. I was being fed instructions that made no sense. I was also sitting too low within the aircraft and this had never been picked up on! Thanks guys that cost me nearly a grand

I changed schools and within 2 circuits had sloved the problem. I now grease the aircraft on every time no problems!

The moral of the story and I have confirmed this by talking to some well seasoned ATPLs si that if you are flying around making no progress then it is probably that your instructor can't instruct. Beleive it!
