Hi Hope you continue to enjoy all of your training. Dont get hung up on people telling you how few hours they went solo in! The Course is a "MINIMUM" of 45 hours so use all of them and dont rush to get rid of your instructor he will tell you when your ready as he will have watched you develop into a competant pilot. As nerve racking as it is for you I can assure you that from my experience it is 100 times more worrying for the instructor as he is totally helpless when he gives you signal to lift off into the hover for the first time. I am CFi now with many thousands of hours but will let you into a secret. It took me ages to go Solo but it was the best feeling in the world better than when I did it in a fixed wing. Good luck and happy flying
