You know what, if your with an instructor, its a perfectly logical situation. It will take much more long time to learn, but wants you solo, your there. Now, these planes are fast. Take it from me becuase i have flown both a trainer and my instrucotrs P-51 (he threw me the controls once he got it in the air). The P-51 doesnt get puched around by the wind, its a powerful plane. I think you can handle it as i did. I brought it back to the ground. I jsut want to let you know that i got my trainer, and i still ahve it after 3/4 year and as you can see, im not broed with it, im not fast to give it up.
