Hi, >From my experiance for the first flight is.. Indeed start with the neutrale stick. And get Some Airtime in a light quick responding plane. My KR had her first flight with a very much experianced pilot. Also he did 25 min in another KR2s. The second flight we Goes together in the air. I took over the controlls and get Directorly in a PIO. I was thinking what did I build? and I never learn to fly my own bird? After 2 hours stick time I get used to it and get happy with it. Now I have about 50 hours and I am thinking....what was the problem in the beginning Hi hi. I Fly my bird now with the idea there was never a learning problem.(I fly it now with 2 vingers in my nose)
Conclusions.. If you have no experiance....look for someone who can do it for you. If you do it your self..start neutrall stick and no big input. In landing, get the right speed on final and only think about the flair...if you gave input to the flair it is to much. hihihi You wil learn and get used to the plane very quick. Good Luck.
