Choose your poison.

If you learn on a fuel injected aircraft and move to a carb you WILL forget the carb heat, probably more than once.

If you learn with the governor and move to an ungoverned type you WILL get into a low RPM situation and quite probably an overspeed situation if the correlator is so set up. (Not at the same time though).

I'm sure there are plenty more of these catches too. Under stress its all to easy to go back to procedures that are correct for the type you learned on, not the aircraft you're currently flying.

In all probability you will get away with the above occasional brain glitches but be aware that the accident reports are full of new to type pilots.
