If you *really* want to fly as much as it appears you do, you cannot let
setbacks like yours do more than DELAY your progress. It's on YOU to
change
your circumstances.

I smell something not quite right in this whole story. In my experience,
people who quit when they are this far along have run up against something
deeper.

Either this guy discovered that flying isn't what he really wants to do
with
his money, or he has run up against a quiet inner fear of soloing. I
think
we all experienced the latter, to one degree or another, and fought our
way
through it to success.

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of flight students quit before soloing
due
to a fear of being alone at the controls for the first time.


Interesting you said this, because the same thing occurred to me. The big
clue was that he is quitting right after being told he is ready to solo.
