The instructor said "right, you already know how to fly, so all I need to tell you is that it's a bit sensitive in pitch compared to what you're used to".
Gertrude, I'm surprised the instructor didn't say "Let me show you what adverse yaw is."
I've seen many power pilots genuinely surprised when I ask them to roll into a turn without using the rudder and then seeing the nose yaw 30 degrees the other way.
