I believe getting a feel for flying the Kitfox is as stated by others in this thread, it just takes a lot of flying in it and a willingness to explore the flight performance envelope. I'm convinced I could fly mine within a few mph of the asi without even looking at it. Of course I've been flying these things for 31 years.
And compared to a 172 Cessna, the Kitfox should be much quicker to learn as it is so much more nimble. I always say the Kitfox is pretty close to feeling as though you sprouted wings. So get as many hours in that Kitfox as you have in that 172 and I'm sure you'll have at least as good of a feel for it.
