Don't worry about when your first solo comes

Seems like a fair question, why is it that every Tom, Dick and Harry in here has to start by giving the original poster a bashing, he/she is only asking question, if it annoys you dont put a post up.

I think the root of most of these "how long till solo" questions are -

Is there anything you can do to help going solo early (for most its about having the money and would love to accomplish it quicker and get to that milestone for less money)

Secondly, to follow up on the 3-70 hours, and from other posts, you started flying cause you love it and its something you dearly want to do. You will probably be flying the rest of your life, so unless you are on an intensive course to get your ATPL, just enjoy learning and becoming compotent at flying.

I know I used to think the same, get my first solo less than 10 hours and do it all in 45, but now I am quite happy to plug along and I will get my licence when I get my licence.

Saying that I am purely flying recreational.
