Ah, thought it might be. Haven't done any night flying yet, so generally just told to leave most lights alone for the flight.

I'm not particularly keen on the push/pull throttle, but I learnt in a Robin and a 172, so kind of used to it. However, when I transitioned to the PA28, I much prefer the up down style.

Certainly when it's a bit windy it's a tad trickier, just where I fly, one of the runways needs a very tight base turn, where instead of flying perpendicular to the runway, you fly towards it at about 45 degrees, then turn final much closer than you normally would. I'm not a great fan of that circuit as it's a little harder, but unfortunately, it's the runway that seems to always be in use
