I flew a luscome just before my first solo thinking i would prepare
me, didn't. I got into pio emediately upon liftoff, but, it didn't
take very long to adjust to the pitch sensitivity because I expected
it and reduced control inputs to tiny pressures on the stick. Over a
dozen hours I got very comfortable with the sensitivity and ground
loop tendency. Quick small corrective inputs on rudder and landing is
a breeze. It's a delight to fly but approach first flights with
considerable caution.

You do not want "arm" movement when flying a KR. Support your arm on
your leg or center console, etc., and use "wrist" movement only. Once
in the air it takes VERY LITTLE stick movement to fly the KR, simple
light pressure on the stick. *Amazing flier when flown correctly*. Over
control and it can scare the hell out of you.
