Ive got my CFI ride coming up soon and was wondering what all of the current CFI's experience was like on the flying portion on the Checkride.

Ive been studying for the oral portion and feel ok, from what I have read alot can depend simply on who you do your checkride with. I had a friend from ATP do his intital with a DE, and said it really wasnt much tougher than his commercial. Another said it was like pulling teeth, and I have always cnosidered this guy very knowledgeable-the other not so much.

What I havent heard about is what manuevers you all did on the checkride. I have heard some instructors say they covered just about everything and others say the inspector did the bare minimums. Any advice is great!
