A lot depends on how many days/weeks it takes to accumulate those 10 hours. Flying once a week, you probably won't solo for 20 or more. But if you can fork over the money, find the time, and fly every other day for two weeks - it's a lot more likely you will be ready. Smartest thing I did in flying: first lesson to private pilot in about 10 weeks (back in the Reagan Administration!)
