Could someone please tell me what is involved in learning to fly it eg Number of hours I would need to do with an instructor before being able to go solo?
It takes as long as it takes. Like Whirly a learnt on a PA38 and then moved onto a PA28-181. I think my C172 check out was about an hour, all done at MTOW.

Top tip - don't try and land it too fast. Anything more than 60-65Kts and you'll bounce down the runway quite happily. Nail that and the rest of flying it is easy.
