I think you really know what I meant and are just being argumentative.

Eh? I disagreed with your comment about the three hour checkout and
provided the reasons for my disagreement. You now dismiss all of this as
argumentative and hide behind the excuse that I knew what you meant all
along, as if I am some type of mind reader? That's just silly.


Ok. sorry but the vast majority of flying Skyhawks are not the newer SPs but
the older "plain old Skyhawks."


If you look again at my first post in this thread, it only asked what
model
to which you were referring. You are welcome to quote the words from my
post that you interpreted as argumentative.

Need I remind you that in your follow-up, it was you who lobbed a personal
barb by questioning how many hours it took me to solo, as if you expected
this to demonstrate some level of incompetence.

That was a joke. You had made a comment that the Carb heat issue would take
3 to 5 hours of check flight time to learn. If that is the case for you and
as I said I didn't think would then the learing to fly the whole plane would
be on the order of 3 or 4 hundred hours. Like Newp so perfectly put it.
"Pull out the carb heat below the green arc. Push it in aboove the green
arc. There. You're checked out."
