Dop, don't worry, you'll get used to it. The AA5 is a wonderful aircraft, particulaly the larger of the breed, the Tiger.
I know exactly what paving slabs you mean at Biggin, and it's a real knack to get on to them, but once you've got it, you don't lose it. Also the AA5's differential braking means it can turn on a sixpence, which is useful in most cramped UK GA fields...
