Since the controls are reversed (throtles on left) on close approach I automaticly cross controled when things got dicy and crashed!

Okay, pull back the stick, and... Hey, where'd my power go? ;-)

Other than that, flying it compared to the prop planes that i'm used to, it was very easy to fly.

I've heard that turbines (as opposed to recips I'm used to) are slow to respond to control inputs; one's got to think and set the power far ahead of time.

"one's got to think and set the power far ahead of time."

There is a delay but it's not that long really, possibly 2 seconds at the most.

Since the previous 1000+ hours I had flown in my Saratoga the isnstrument scan took a little getting used to but all in all it was really easy to fly.
