These Folks Are Giving Great Advice.A Warbird Can Be A Hand Full.Here Is A Test.Take The Ship Up A Few Hundred Feet Close Your Eyes And Twist The Sticks For A Second.Open Your eyes And Save The Ship.( Just Kidding.It Would Not Be Safe)you Will Need That Kind Of Reactions.You Must Fly The Ship And Not React To What The Plane Is Dong. Make The Plane Do What You Want To Do.In Short You Fly the Plane And Not The Plane Flying You.
I Think A Warbird Should Be Your third Ship.I Would Hate To See You Lose A Ship.
Good Luck.
