I have flown one quite a few times, and other than the obvious item of having plenty of speed before liftoff. Be prepared to use PLENTY of right rudder, again pretty normal for a warbird. The most important thing is the landing speed. If you are too fast, it will bouce all the way down the runway, too slow, and we all know what happens then...stall-snap-spin. The ailerons become pretty soft at low speeds, so use the rudder for heading correction once line up on final. If you have flaps, you will be OK. The flaps make it easy to hit that proper landing speed. If you dont have flaps, practice landing approaches early in your flight. Even as big and heavy as it is, without flaps, that thing will sail right on past you carrying a great deal of momentum.

Good luck
