Hi Mike
Welcome. To the Kolb world , Your gone'a love it.
I fly trike's too . Its like riding a bike and then driving a car.
When I fly my trike I get on it and fly it like riding a bike
When I fly 3 axis, I get in it like a car. Different controls to do the same thing.
In you firefly do lots of taxiing till you get the feel . The more power the more the tail works.
Get your taxiing with tail up, going up and down the runway keeping it on the ground.
When you are ready to fly, roll on the power to full and let it keep climbing
up to 2000 ft or more and get use to the feel, check your stall speed, When you ready to land it come back and do lots of flybys, getting lower to the deck. Then do your touch and go's
What you do land, fly it down with power till your on the ground. Don.t cut the power till you are on the ground, then roll the power off.
Kolb's are great plane's enjoy.
Hope it helped
Safe Fly'n Bob
