Well, each to his own and no disrespect meant or implied. I didn't go to Edwards and am not in the SETP but as I said, I have flown the 20 and 22 and didn't find them so very different from any other fixed gear SEP. There are differences, such as the sidestick and combined throttle/prop lever, and the avionics do take a lot of learning. But the comments about staying in trim and watching the speed pertain to all aircraft. Get it correctly configured and in trim, keep it on speed and on the slope and you should arrive in the TDZ whether you're in a 337 or 737.
MJ did you really mean to say "But actually the TO and Landing configs and flying aren't really that interesting."? Surely how a thing handles near the ground (probably the most critical phases of flight) are the most interesting?
Again, no disrespect meant or implied. Genuinely curious.
