I have a few hundred hours in a Mosquito back in the 1980s.
It is pretty conventional to fly apart from two unusual
characteristics:
First is the parallelogram stick action in pitch - not really an issue,
you will quickly get used to it.
The main issue is the unusual air brakes. The first bit of travel
raises the upper trailing edge spoiler producing a little drag
increase. The remainder of the travel produces a lot of extra lift
and drag so the approach can be very steep, which actually very
useful in short landing areas. The main consideration is that you
should be very careful of using too much brake too early on the
approach. If you are undershooting, reducing airbrake reduces
drag but also drastically reduces lift too. If you dump brakes very
low on the approach, the first effect is to reduce lift and dump
yourself in a worse undershoot position. However rounding out
with minimal brake gives a very long float.You should always aim
to approach with steadily increasing airbrake, rounding out with
maximum brake.
If you start to undershoot, reduce airbrake ASAP until you look a
bit too high, then steadily increase brake towards max.
If you know anyone with a Mini-Nimbus or a Ventus B, the brake
system will be similar and they could give you more advice.

Good luck with the new ship!
