I fly mine just like a 172, once I see 60 mph I start pulling back. I did not have any training in anything w/a stick prior to flying my 2S, and truthfully I don't think it would have mattered if I had because the KR is unlike anything else. I did what u are doing-------getting a feel for it on the ground first, I believe I only spent 1.5 hrs total taxi time over 3 days before I flew it off. I was kinda shocked by the way it jumped off the runway once I pulled back. Just don't over due it on the stick or u will really know the meaning of PILOT INDUCED OCCILLATION.
