Default Practicing with an Extra on RealFlight

Hi to all,

I am planning to put together a Phoenix Models Extra 330s with a FS91SII in a couple of days. Though I love to harrier, hover etc, I know that this is not a 3D airplane with this engine. I plan to practice with it to "learn" the airplane till the monsoon sets in from beginning of june, then restart with it in October and finally put in a 95 or 120 when I am comfortable (or bored) with it. So till then it will be my Sunday flier

So couple of questions:

1) Does this airplane have any bad tendancies that I need to look out for? Since the excess power in the 91 4C is limited, it will be difficult to get out if the airplane tipstalls or something

2) I dont know of an Extra of similar size on Realflight to help me limber up or practice at home. Which airplane should I use to practice on the sim? I have all the expansion packs (1 to 7)
