I did 11 hours after which my instructor said next time i'd probably go solo. The owner of the plane wanted to be there so called him up on the instructors suggestion to have him over the next day. (he is the agent for the Remos i'm buying and i was using his for my training till mine arrived)
i had a big job at work i had to get done for the next day so i went in to the office that night - ended up working till 3am. I got home all hyped up about going solo the next day and didnt sleep. I arrived out at the airfield the next day with my eyes hanging out. We flew, i kept waiting for the magic "i'll get out now", eventually i got "just park it up"
i was gutted, i'd blown it - i wasn't ready, i knew i wasn't ready. My landings werent bad but both the instrucor and myself knew i wasn't ready. The next day i did my first solo after only 2 circuits with the instructor
so, 12 hours. but then it's only a microlight
