The Avistar is more of a 2nd type plane rather than a basic trainer. If you can handle it well then the GP P51 shouldn't be too hard to catch on to. I would try to buddy box it for a couple of flights just so the differences don't cath you off guard. Make sure that its the kit version, not the ARF. The kit uses a Kaos wing which has a very wide speed range. In other words it will fly fast but it can also be slowed down so you can catch your breath and land at a walking speed. [8D]
