Post King PPL Vidoes

Dear helpful aviator types,

I've a birthday coming up and Mrs. Crunch has offered to pay for a set of the King FAA PPL videos (about 140 notes from Transair). I'll be finishing a JAR PPL in the US later this year but there are no JAR video courses available. Is it worth watching the FAA course? Presumably many details are the same ("This is a plane, that way's up and that way spells trouble et ceterae") but are the actual fillums any good? I should think things like R/T frequencies differ and there may be other "bad" information I'll pick up which I might be better off not knowing. I've seen King do the intro to FS 2000 and his particular brand of enthusiasm and boundless cheerfulness is actually quite appealing (!). So, would these be a good idea or should I let Mrs. Crunch pay for another three months membership to the Cologne Chinese Laundry and a case of Gentleman's Relish? Missus.

Yours aye,

Cap'n Crunch
