You'll be fine with the plane if you pratice patience. I went from the nexstar to the cosmic minnow. I started with running the minnow up and down the field with me behind it to see how it was going to track. Then I took off and did a couple circuits to make sure it was running up to par. Then when high enough make sure it could handle vertical climbs and dives to make sure it would not quit on me. From there I went with the touch and goes. Over and over again. Nothing fancy. My last flights with the minnow were after our warbirds event. I ran through 3 tanks and was strickly doing touch and goes with the whole last tank. I would take the plane to a spot and chop the throttle at varying altitudes and areas over the field and try to get it back to the runway under idle. Did close to 30 straight back and forth with no aborts. Unfortunately it was nearing dusk with some clouds and while trying to finish the last tank lost orientation when it dipped into the tree line. When I finally realised where it was going I just kept the wings level and let it go in. The damage wasnt that bad but enough to where I dont feel like fixing it. I was mad I made such a stupid mistake. So just take your time and control your adrenaline. It will come in time....

Now Im just trying to get this sundowner 50 finished up with the ol 91 surpass. Then my new minnow is getting a YS110 cant wait for that.
