Personally I'm still slogging it out in the singles with 1300hrs (4 years) 
but 
to be flying.

About 800 hours and 2 years. Was not ready for it or mature enough 
but very lucky to be right place/right time.

120 hours
Initial Twin, Initial Tail Wheel and initial radial all on a Lockheed 12A
Ever tried to do all this and look our of those small slate cockpit windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arcturus I can emphasise with you, the bloody thing just wouldn't go where it was suppose to. I can understand people like my father that learnt on a DH82A, Wirraway and then launched on to Beaufighters with around 300 hours.

Wally...I'm what is known as a 'mature' pilot. My first twin endorsement was with Frank Woodfall aviation at Archerfield. A Partenavia....WOW!!! I felt I was flying an airliner!!!
Don't have my log book handy but definitely under 200hrs. Just right place, right time I guess.
Unfortunately haven't flown a twin in about 4 yrs and that was only for an IR renewal.
