Tell us how you feel after your first solo. You will never forget it and it is an addiction.
Now after you "think" you know how to fly an airplane, get some time in a "spam can" (C-172) THEN find someone in an old taildragger (where there is no nose wheel and the third wheel is at the back, like the DC-3) and it will teach you real fast that you have a lot to learn about flying!
This is a 1947 Aeronca and will teach you a lot about flying.
I fly a jet for a living and this old WW2 airplane is a handful on takeoff and landing. One thing though, when you taxi up in this old gal, especially if you have landed in a stiff crosswind, no one will ask you for a pilots license.
Keep at it, its well worth the time and expense!
