Hi Folks:

I've logged pretty close to 1000 hours now on G3 with various planes (particularly with the P-51 and a series of imported warbirds from rcwarbirds.com). I just finished the Horizon P-51 PTS. I am lining up some time with an instructor but am looking for some helpful input as to what to generally expect when I first take this thing up on my own. I've heard the ground handling will feel completely different. What else should I expect to be typically different (assuming that my P-51 is properly trimmed etc)? Where do people think G3 differs from real life in the flight physics area? (I heard stalls + spins were poorly done in G3). How far would 1000 sim hours - with lots of variance in wind/crosswind/airports - take me towards being able to solo?

An thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks
