Default RE: How do these fly?

Just for kicks I flew an Extra 300 on the sim. I handled surprisingly well.  I see a lot of this type out there.  Both times that I landed it was right on the runway, which is unusual for me on the sim, I usually cant get the darn thing lined up no matter what I fly.  I even had it doing a knife edge and inverted passes.  All this while laying n bed with the laptop on my chest and the controller over my head. <div>
</div><div>I did crash it several times, only because of the small screen and getting the plane in a bad angle  where I couldn't tell where it was in relation to the ground, something that the sim is really flawed at.  The rest of the time when I got it low I was able to recover it in time. </div><div>
</div><div>What other plane on the Realflight sim should I try out that would hone my skills with this type of plane?  I want to get some practice in before I maiden the 4*.  The plane is almost RTF, waiting on a muffler, and still have to complete the tail install and setup, then get the gear on, and the radio setup. Hopefully the muffler arrives soon so I can balance it and find out where to place the batteries.  I posted a couple pics of it so far under the 4*120 kit build in the kit forum.</div>
