High Wing Drifter.

Listen to what your instructor tells, and shows, you.

Main points to remember are:
1. Watch Your Speed (Indicated and also your "feel" for how fast you are going)
2. The Base to Final Turn can be a *major* killer of low time pilots becase of the lack of altitude to recover from stall
3. Incorrect (non) use of Carb Heat will also cause you problems in the UK. Learn your Carb Heat theory thoroughly - remember Carb Heat may be needed on lovely sunny days....

Enjoy your training.
