I got a 182 checkout (the first high perf airplane I flew) in about
1.3,
which included stalls, steep turns, and landings/go-arounds in
every
configuration. We didn't take off until I had correctly rehearsed
the
power and engine management on the ground.

That's pretty unusual. Usually 1.3 hours is hardly enough time to run
but
about 4-5 touch and goes.

Do you fly a 20 mile downwind or something?

Are you shooting visual or instrument approaches to check out the new gear?
Also, on the Hobbs, just start, run-up and initial taxi can take 10-12
minutes.
