Makmov,
The two things you need to get used to are taking off and unloading the wing. And landing with flaps, ½ t and 45 degrees of flap.

I would go with the H9 new P-51 powered by a 1.2 4c(inverted) or 90 2c(side mounted) and spring air retracts. This will give enough power to take off like a sport plane and when you are ready to try scale takeoff (low angle of attack) you can practice with plenty of power in reserve.

Landing with flaps reduce T to ½ wait for the plane to slow (you will need to add E to keep it level) then add 45 degrees of flaps. Reverse chandelle to the runway, level off throttle back let the flaps bleed the speed and wheel land it. You will screw it up a few times don’t try to make a landing from a bad position go around. If you get to nervous put the flaps up and float it in. the H9 gives you that option. Repairs are easier on a small plane also.

The Z Zero has more mass and higher wing loading so it is less forgiving vs it looks like its flying much slower.

Every warbird pilot has had a p-51 I have had 4

You can also use your trainer for takeoff practice, I tought my some by having him takeoff fly around and land with the same T setting. It can be done!
