Yankiwi, First just try to have fun in there, attitude is everything. It's stick and rudder just like every other plane you've flown. the big difference is mass and inertia. It takes a long time to accelerate or slow. Believe it or not the most realistic sim to duplicate that effect is Microsoft Flight Simulator. Try it to get the timing down. Look out for the balooning when going from flaps 10 to flaps 20. To land start a gentle flare at 50 feet and pull the power off at 30 feet (the altitude calls should be automatic, if not the F/E will make the calls) and she'll roll on nicely. Mostly just have fun as it's a great plane to fly.
