Good advice re: the Metro. Much better than I would be able to do after 7-8 years....
One thing I do remember re: the nacelle and prop deice. The spinner is NOT heated. So you'll be able to remove ice from the intake lip and the prop but just keep the ignition on CONTINUOUS until the last slug of ice from the spinner is gone--this is important if descending into warmer temps because you'll turn off the heat and ignition and then that knob of ice will melt off and may be ingested.
Continuous ignition is cheap insurance.
Have fun, be safe. It's a pain to fly, especially with no autopilot but your instrument skills and scan will be SMOKIN' HOT after just a few hundred hours.
