All I read is about all you super pilots who landed the plane in their second lesson - who soloed at 5 or 6 hours - who are accomplished wunderkinds by 10hours, etc., etc, etc. . . I am at 24 hours and still am not near ready to solo. I have not even been able to land the plane even once without my instructors help. Am I just the world's worst pilot?? Should I just give up?? I am happy for the guy who landed the plane all by himself at 2 hours. It's just that everything I read about other students seems to indicate that, well. . .I suck. Everyone else soloes at 10-15 hours, and most students are doing cross countries by 24 hours. I really am trying, but I just cannot land the darn plane. Help? I’m getting so frustrated. . . .
