I have AFPD as well... I think that the main thing to keep in mind is that the Mustang on that version is much more scale than the PTS... the sim version will fly faster and I would think is a good deal more aerobatic than my pts. Now I'm comparing it with my plane which is set up with the flaps down and the droops on (if you get it take the airspeed breaks of immediately, I left them on for about 10 flights and didn't have much problem with them, but they do make the plane alot less stable in the air, and it flys a good bit better without them, and not really a whole lot faster, just use less throttle). I think naturally you'd be more careful with the real thing. But I do think that if you can land the AfPD mustand you shouldn't have a problem with the PTS because it has a much slower stall speed, and with the droops isn't prone to tip-stalls. Taking off seems to be more of a challenge in real life though, with much more rudder input needed to keep it straight than on the sim version. I did see in a review on the AMA website that the reviewer found if he immediately went to full throttle on takeoff that it didn't need hardly any rudder though, that's something that I'm going to have to try... I hope that helps
