Default Flight Training

I'm getting near the point of flying my first turbine (Kangaroo with P80). I live miles from anyone else who flies jets so will probably 'go it alone' for the maiden.

I have a fair amount of full size turbine experience so I am not worried about turbine operation. However, as time draws near I am a bit worried about my flying ability.

What sort of models did you guys fly before your first turbine? How easy was the transition?

I am currently flying a Balsa USA Enforcer (ST 61 powered) that I don't find that difficult. I also have a Magnum with the West engine. I can fly it but have to concentrate quite hard as it is tiny! Are these suitable training machines or should I have a go at something else first?

Thanks
