True, there's not much to a 50hour check and anyone with basic mechanical knowledge and a good pair of eyes can carry one out i.a.w the schedule (after a walk-through as tall-guy-in-a-152 says). I'd specifically suggest paying attention to spark plug torquing, wire locking and the use of a new & approved sump plug gasket. And DON'T pressure wash your wheels otherwise you'll end up with dry and corroded bearings.
