Dr. Hsu 713 513 0423 Hi,
I'm a KR member, and can feel for you. Shame you did not catch me a month ago on my return from california. I regularly fly/drive to see my kids in California, we can work something out. If you are getting your PPL, I'd strongly advise getting time in a J3 cub or aeronca champ or citabria. The KR is shortly coupled flight characteristics in conjunction with the fact the rudder authority is limited. It's about getting comfortable with it.
