Apologies G - when you said you had your test pilot's hat on I assumed you were actually a test pilot. I don't understand why anyone - even a low hours PPL - would need "half a day with the manuals" to fly a fixed gear SEP round the patch. I've flown the -20 and 22, and they're just airplanes. I'll admit you need more than a day with the manuals to fully understand and get the best out of the avionics, but to just pole it round the pattern? Its just a fixed gear SEP, not a jetliner.
