Well, we certainly have a bunch of great P-47 sticks we can put you with. I'll have to poll my training crew and see who is most qualified in the 205. IMHO, it is very similar to a 109/spit combination.
In my opinion, the "advanced stuff" is nothing more than knowing what moves to pull when. Advanced skills are things like estimating energy differences between you and other planes, situational awareness, and planning a fight. These thing are often best learned in the arena, although you can set them up in the TA with some work.
We'll get you comfortable 1v1 with a trainer in your birds. The next step will be to give you some advice and some reading to do. After that, it's a good idea to wing in the arena with somebody who is very successful at your type of fighting. Wing with them, and forget about kills. Spend some time flying wing protecting them, but mostly watching how they work the fight. Not what moves they do so much as what they do in various situations. When do they extend and grab altitude. What do they do if they see a higher dot. A lower dot. How do they handle different types of planes.
Once we've gotten the basics down, we'll set you up with some folks you can fly with in the main. Either one of us trainers, or possibly somebody else who specializes in your chosen ride and/or fighting style.
