Elvis have you actually read through the thread, because he explained it perfectly well why he only has 1 hour in the circuit.
As for me , I soloed after (checks log book) eeeeekkkkkk 9 hours of circuits and 21 hours total.
I still enjoyed the QXC much more than my first solo. As for messing up the landings, I now have almost 100 hours and my last landing was worse than my first solo.
