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...
