I agree that having someone willing to give newly minted KR pilots an opportunity to get some stick time, and more importantly, a few landings before trying it themselves, would be a great idea. Troy Petteway gave me two hours of KR2 time before my first flight (required by the insurance company), and it was invaluable training. Bill Clapp was willing to do the same, but neither has a KR these days. The KR Gathering is usually a good place to do this, as those who are nearing first flight are accommodated if at all possible. As for dual throttle, I don't think that's a show stopper, even if the throttle is located on the other side of the cockpit. It's a small panel, and the trainee should be able to reach it if needed, and if not, the instructor can handle it. Thanks for bringing this up Victor...
