I wish people would quit bragging about how few hours it took them to solo and to pass their checkride, and then go on to say that it's not the number of hours, etc. It tends to skew the perspective of student pilots perhaps making them think that they're not as capable. Please folks, leave the first part out...I've known some great pilots that took forever to solo and a LOT of hours before they got their licenses.
I can relate to what some of these student pilots are feeling as I'm working on adding a helicopter rating to my PPL and it seems like it is taking me longer than the average pilot. The strange thing is that it doesn't bother me. I'm confident I'll be a fine helicopter CFI eventually and in the meantime I'm enjoying every minute of rotary wing time.
As long as you're enjoying yourself that's what counts. Now, a few people have mentioned the instructor making all the difference in the world. THAT IS TRUE! If for ANY reason (even one with no logic to it) you want to try a new instructor - do it! It will probably offer a little different flavor and you may like it so much you'll never look back. Don't be shy about finding a new instructor and being up front and telling him/her that you just want to see if it makes a difference. I did that with my heli instructor and it was the best move I could have made.
