Just a handful of hours between the rest. Didn't know if there's any quirks I'd really have to watch out for that isn't something common on any of the other 400 series.
It's a great plane. If you've flown a 414 the 402 should be perfectly familiar, with one exception being that it's not pressurized. Just watch the aft CG loading, but since you're saying it's a test flight you really won't run into that problem. Also, check your nose doors and wing lockers thoroughly before you get in; the door warning light doesn't cover them.
That's all probably pretty common on the other 400 series planes, so whatever.
