81.6 hours

I am well over the required amount for soloing in the helicopter. Really, i should have done it 20 hrs prior. but nope, I haven't even passed the FAA exam yet. -__- i feel like a slacker!

No way am I studying the FAA exam in spring break, cause i might have some school work. And I want to use that time for ground school. I need to get on it then. I want to solo this summer. No excuses. i'm going to be one of those few students that solos at a hundred hours.

But I shouldn't be ashamed, because that means i'll be a very confident and good flyer. I'll be close to comfortable as I am in a car (at least that's my goal). I want it this way because I know if i do it TOO soon I will be nervous and something may go wrong. When I finally go up alone I want to be 100 percent focused and not miss a beat. I never ant the helicopter to be ahead of me! I'm getting better at consistency in all ways, but I need this semester to keep refining my maneuvers. I'm getting close, and that realization lightens my down, dissatisfied mood. I'm getting so close. I just know it.

Dont banter me if you think I'm slow. in the end it will benefit me and the liability of my school and the expensive helicopters they own GREATLY.
