My initial reaction was to disagree about the number of dual hours. You see, after you've flown a 337 for a while, it's so easy, the aircraft so forgiving, that I thought 5 or 10 hours of dual, after your single private, would suffice. So I started writing a response along these lines, then decided to go find my 15-year-old logbook where the 337 dual was recorded and, surprise, I had about 30 hours. Oh, that's after my single private and a thousand hours of simulator time, most of it on multi-engine.
Anyhow, long response to say, yes, you'll need a LOT of dual time to fly a 337 safely.
