Thumbs up Need B47 Advice...

Howdy! I'm an R22 pilot who is trying to learn from a broader base of experience in a few other types (B47, 280FX, B2B, 300CB). Towards that goal, I spent my 2nd hour in the B47 and I'm still having an issue coordinating throttle control and other actions during quick-stop. For example, one time I focused too much on throttle control and didn't apply enough right pedal and spent too much time correcting that (before leveling the ship, etc, etc). Although the Robbie has me very spoiled with the governor, I don't seem to have any problems with other B47 maneuvers (autos, max perf, etc). I'm just beginning to get used to the "play" in the throttle control, but I could really use a few pointers from you B47 veterans out there. Any suggestions?

B47 Flight

Thanks in advance!
