Likewise people who are told they will need a couple of hours 'conversion' training from something like a 172 to a 28. Am I wrong to think that some ATOs milk it a little? I can go from a Ford to a Honda without a driving instructor sitting with me for an hour. Ok that might be an over simplification but you get my drift.
I learned to fly mostly in a 172. The first time I flew a 28 I asked my instructor what the difference was, he said 'The main difference is you have to bend down to take a fuel sample'. One circuit later I was away on my own in it.
