Paul, we all should have been checked out in the Coupe, which should also count as the hour of dual time with instructor. Unfortunately, it's a real bitch trying to find one with any experience in a Coupe. I had to learn to fly mine by the book. I read everything I could find about it. Specifically I digested all the stuff about cross wind landings. By the time I took off, I felt fairly comfortable that I could do it. My first landing was a little rough, as I came in a little slow, but it wasn't bad. You have the advantage of talking to real life humans, and shouldn't have that problem. Later, I took the instructor up and taught him to fly the Coupe, and he then signed me off. Seems like a real round about way of doing it, but it was the best I could figure out.
