Average to solo around 10 hrs by my guess. 7 if doing well.
I agree with your average but you don't agree with my statement?
At a small airfield some instructors I know have recently been sending younger people solo in about 5-6 hours in an aircraft type with characteristics similar to the old Piper Colt.
I can give the source of that data, it is not opinion. More data: many taking 20 hrs to solo a Jabiru.

Centaurus is spot on.
.......
Average for basic aeros 3hrs or so when done with tail wheel endorsement.
I'd like to see the syllabus to cover upright spins and the aerobatic manoeuvres per CAO 40.0 within 3 hours? Recovery from failed figures/unusual attitudes would be good too.
