Welcome to the club. As soon as I mastered I deeded my YT and got all the needed components to make her fly and launched.

One tip for flying the Bwing is to turn your mouse sensitiviy all the way down and use small movements to control her. Bwings are delicate things

Congrats! Welcome to Alliance ace.
Here's a little advice from a fellow B-Wing pilot...
Here's a little advice from a fellow B-Wing pilot...
Adjusting speeds at the right time is the key to piloting a B-Wing successfully.
B-Wings take practice. But if you practice enough, it can become a pretty good starfighter.
I'm a very good B-Wing pilot, simply because I've practiced a lot. Start with tier 2s, mainly because they're slow and weak. Try them for about a week or so, and after you feel you've gotten the hang of it, try tier 3s, then 4s.
Along the way you'll learn how to adjust speeds at the right times to make the B-Wing speeddown when you need it to (like turning, for example) and when you need it tos-eed up. A good point here is to slow down about almosthalf-way of the way from the bottom of your speed, though a little over (but this would depend on your engine. I have a 108 speed engine, which is about 85 top speed on my B-Wing. So I drop throttle to about 43 or so). This will give you a decent turn speed. When you start to turn, the B-Wing will turn fast and fish tail. Don't pull away, flow with it. When you're in the direction you want, slowly ease back on the control while throttling up and straightening out. If you quickly stop the mouse (or joystick) turning, the B-Wing will fish tail off your direction.

Practice makes perfect with the B-Wing. It may take awhile, so don't push it. You'll get frustraited with it, but give it time and take it slow. After enough time, you'll become a pretty good pilot.
I can now take my B-Wing into Kessel without much fear. I may not be able to PvP against some ships (I can, however, PvP in my B-Wing against a range of foes), but I can tackle most PvE enemies.
