In a previous article, john smith said:
Paul, you have been flying the Lance for a couple of months now.
How about a pilot report about your impressions and the transition training?

Oh, ok. Didn't realize anybody cared. I've just been putting entries in
my blog instead of posting them here.

http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000097.html - First flight in the Lance.
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000113.html - Minor problem with a busted
alternator.
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000131.html - Club said the plane was fixed, it
wasn't.
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000164.html - Much worse problem - had to
abandon the plane in London Ontario
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000259.html - Went to London again
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000260.html - Flew home from London
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000278.html - Finished my checkout
http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/000286.html - My first non-checkout flight

There are more entries about flying it on there as well.

Summary: The Lance is a big heavy pig of a plane. I like the speed, I
like the feeling of accomplishment from moving up to a complex aircraft.
I'm going to like the heavy load carrying capacity when I take my step
daughter off to college. I think I'm going to like the HSI when I get
used to it, but right now doing an ILS in actual conditions I feel like
I'm doing S-turns down the localizer. I like the stability of flying
ILSes at 120 knots instead of 90. But it's NOT a light touch on the
controls, especially in roll. I wish it had newer radios with flip-flops
and a better (newer) stormscope.

And now the club isn't sure if we're going to be able to keep it because
of insurance problems.
