Much like DB6 says, however I would add the following caveat:

Unlike the Tomahawk flap selection on the Warrior leads to a significant pitch change, also full flap (40) is really quite draggy.

If you pull flaps to two stage quickly (25) the nose will pitch up quite violently so be careful and look ahead when you select flap. The reverse is true if you panic in a go-around type situation and attemp to select flap to zero too quickly.......the aircraft will drop into freefall with a very nose down attitude (great fun at 5000 ft tho!).

Otherwise the Warrior is nicer and easier to fly than a Tomahawk. With a good instructor the checkout should only take an hour and a half or so.

Enjoy
