KR content: I have a bit of stick time in a KR2 and it is a bit more 
challenging than a Tomahawk.  However, the visibility out the canopy in 
cruise is roughly the same.

Non KR content: I started out in J-3s and Citabrias as well as a C150-150 
Texas Taildragger... all high winger, taildraggers.  The first time I flew 
in a Tomahawk (N2401C) I thought I had never learned to fly an airplane at 
all.  It would not behave the way I expected an airplane to behave.  I 
absolutely couldn't land it and it was always ahead of me, especially after 
turn from downwind to base and beyond.  Final was always as if I were a 
non-pilot and didn't have a clue what I was doing, that's how bad it was.  
However, many Tomahawk hours later, I found the airplane to be smooth, 
stable, exceptionally easy to transition up from (to Warriors, Archers, and 
Senecas, all of which I later flew), and a real buzz to fly photo missions 
in with the doors off.  I also flew my first unauthorized, solo night actual 
IFR in 01C when doing circuits in it as a student pilot one night when a fog 
suddenly formed.  Good thing it had VOR/LOC/GS and ADF and I knew how to use 
them.  Also good thing the guys in the tower were so stinkin' bored they 
never knew what happened.  And that's all I'm saying about that!  The 
Tomahawk is a very nice little airplane.
