May certainly be worth investing in one or two hours with an instructor in order to get the feel for an SEP aircraft again. I'm sure it's been a while since you considered PFL's, glide approaches etc. You may also have an urge to flare a little bit earlier during landing due to your experience in heavy jet aircraft...then again maybe not.

As already said, It is probable that your SEP rating validity has expired, so this will have to be revailidated and can be done as part as a 'check out.' However one or two hours just to get comfortable again may be a good thing. Pop down to your local flying club and see who can help you out.

Happy flying
