Hi Pangi

Glad to head you are into building and repair, and of course in to flying, as I am an OLD geezer the best advice I have seen in your thread is practice, practice, practice, and like another said do a lot of tuch/goes and full stop landings. I know doing circuits around your field are boring but do them in both directions and with varying distance between the straight lines, it is a good plan to do one aerobatic item in each straight line and lear to come out on the same heading line. As you advance learn to do coordinated turns, as when you go to a warbird you can't bank and crank you have to fly them as NO warbird is a hands off flier.

One other thing if you like your trainer build another wing with NO dihedral this will also give you a second plane as they will not fly the same/similar, but not the same, and on this one move the C/G back 1/4 inch at a time and learn how to fly it (practice, practice, practice) at some point with the C/G back you will no when to quit.

That is my take on what I have read hear.
