Way to go, Bret!!! I agree wholeheartedly about not doing high-speed taxi tests. Just continue with low-speed tests to bed the brakes in a bit.
The free-castoring nosewheel is pretty intuitive, huh?
I found that getting used to the rudder authority was the biggest difference between the 9A and my trainer (DA-20). The effort is higher, yet it takes only a tiny bit of pedal travel to keep it tracking down the centerline.
Good luck with your transition training and first flight!!

I recently sold my 2011 Harley Iron 883 to fund the Catto prop and interior. The 84 Corvette is safe for now.
