Honestly now that I retrained quite some hours, I can fly it, but enjoyment is completely gone. Whatever trim etc., it feels very sluggish, wobbly, highly unnatural, I need to do large movements with the stick and get pain in my lower arm and wrist. I tried with two different sticks (the X-55 and a CH stick), both are disappointing. I do not apply curves whatever.
It will take a while to get used to but the pain in the wrist really is a showstopper for the moment.
But I can confirm that I also can takeoff with half stick at 130 kts with a combat payload.
