First solo in a Glider in I cant remember how many hours, my gliding logbook is hidden away somewhere and I'm not digging it out.
We all have a favourite part to our jobs, as an instructor taking someone from zero to first solo is my buzz. My record is 5hours zero to solo. He was a special case though, the next closest sits around 7.5 but most fall between 10 and 20 hours.
There are those that have the gift and those that don't. If you're among the 95% of us that don't then it's half you, half your instructors experience and 100% determination that will get you through in a timely fashion.
"...you only go first solo once..."
