I unfortunately find myself in the latter category... 47.7 hours and
no solo yet. Only two issues remain: simulated instrument flight and
landings.


I soloed at 48 hours, without taking any time on instrument flight.


I was required 3 hours of it...

If you are having fun, keep at it. Personally, I think the training
was the most enjoyable part of flying.


Ditto on what Dan said, if its fun then you'll enjoy it no matter how
long it takes. You don't mention what plane it is you are flying and
that might be a part of it, if its a very complex/difficult model. I've
soloed in 4 different types (my first time at the minimum) but they
aren't all that different (C177, C150, C152, C172) and am currently
working on (2 hours sofar) a tailwheel endorsement. I completed all my
dual/solo training requirements a year ago next month, I started flight
training last November, flunked the written back in May (by 4 points,
didn't study) and haven't gone back yet. I get signed off every 90 days
to continue solo flight and have over 104 hours sofar and have enjoyed
every minute of it. But then I don't fly out of controlled space, I
actually have to fly to it. I'm sure you'll make a very competent pilot
from the extra work required from the areas you are always in. And all
your instrument training is never lost, that is carried over to your
next license... G
