Thus flying a plane is not (necessarily) harder than driving a lorry.

No I guess not.

But.

Is driving a C1 the same as driving a C+E?

A light plane, easier. You can solo in a light plane after just a
few hours tuition. That's how difficult it is.

Eeyore is quite funny. I guess he is trying to justify the large amount
of money he has spent. Harping on about legalities preventing someone
from flying is quite funny, especially when you consider Air America
operated a fleet of a model of aircraft quite successfully which the
FAA had banned on safety grounds.
