he had to unlearn what control surface to go to first and to add throttle........I've seen alot of folks have to modify what they knew...but not unlearn it.
Maybe modify is a better word than unlearn it. All my point was, that for me anyways, initially it was a little frustrating flying the next plane because to do many of the moves on the trainer was different than on the Patriot. Basically I felt like I wasted time doing them on a trainer, rather than moving on once I was confident flying the trainer competently.
What happened is you took another lesson on the learning curve. Over time, as experience grows and the number of aircraft flown increases you'll learn they all fly and feel different yet there is a similarity to them. It's a matter of learning how to deal with the individual flight characteristics of that particular aircraft and adjusting to it, like jumping from a quickie pylon racer to a high-start launched glider, pattern plane, trainer etc. They all fly differently and require a different touch to fly, but with experience you can hop between them and not think about it.
