Hi, Steve.

As your email implied, it is different when it's your butt in the cockpit.
As opposed to flying a simulator or an RC model.  The disorientation can be
incapacitating, but the good news is that a little bit of instruction should
quickly expand your situational awareness to include some truly unusual
attitudes.

The carry-over from one aircraft type to another is actually pretty good, in
my subjective opinion.  And any qualified aerobatic instructor will take
your experience level and aircraft type into account.  I believe that the
key is getting comfortable with the inputs and sensations, rather than
perfecting the technique for symmetrical vs asymmetrical wings.
