What about those of you with 500 plus hours: what has your experience
been like? Am I just unlucky, or typical?

In around 1200 hours, the following spring to mind:
gryo failure on an IFR flight (but in VMC) - had to stop for the night
because the destination was solid IMC
the odd mag failing run up (usual causes: bad spark plug)
One forced landing due to a stuck valve (occurred at 50 feet AGL during
takeoff, but there was 4000 of remaining runway so it wasn't
particularly dramatic)
A total electrical failure at night during my student night instruction

But that's it.
