Well, I finally soloed. At the end of lesson 14, I took 704YE around the pattern three times by myself. The first of those landings was sort of ugly, the other two were fine. The next two lessons I spent three hours just going around and around the pattern for solo practice. They were pretty uneventful as well.
The next time I have tim to go fly (work is very busy this week) we will be doing the dual cross-country, where we fly to a couple of other airports.
