13hrs into it now and loved every minute of it. Never fail to get the buzz when i walk out to the warrior.
Presumably you have by now done two solo flights. If you haven't it is time to change to a senior instructor. There are some instructors who have no conscience in ripping you off while they log hours and before you know it you have 20 hours and still not solo.

"No problem, Bloggs, a couple more sessions of circuits should see you ready for solo. When the time I'll let you know and we will rustle up a senior instructor to give you the pre-solo check. But we have to make sure you have got those circuits taped before you are ready to be put up...."

I have seen students with 30 hours and still on circuit after circuit because the instructor was too exacting when all that is needed is a safe standard; not a Red Bull ace pilot.
