I'll second that:
I had a very entertaining hour in C172 I-SAAB a few years ago:
Two things bothered me:
1) No power checks as such as no brakes Just a kinda rolling power check-cum-takeoff.
2) Base leg /final into the aeroclub over Como town: absoloodle nowhere to go if the fan stops.
I wanted a trip in the Lake but it was tech at the time and IIRC subsequently ended up at the botom of Lake Como.
Thoroughly worthwhile visit to the Aeroclub if you're in the area.
