If it's a T-tail then there's a few more things:

1. There is very little trim change when selecting flap as the downwash misses the tail.

2. The lack of downwash on the tail makes it slightly easier to land than a Warrior as you don't lose stabilator effectiveness when you throttle-back at the flare.

3. Again, no downwash - no natural buffet for stall warning.

4. Have the trim about 2 cm aft of neutral for the take-off or you'll really have to pull.

If it's a Turbo-Arrow listen very carefully to your instructor's brief on engine handling.
