I agree that the mono version is not the kiddy-car that the tri-gear
is - nor is a float plane or a flying boat.
You won't see many demo pilots letting you take off in a float/boat
either. That is not a reason to switch aircraft - it is a reason to sample
the discipline. At my demo at Europa those many moons ago, I asked to
'follow through' on the controls and was allowed to. It was obvious to me
that a different discipline was required. The directional control was as
busy as that on a Yale or Harvard/SNJ/AT6 - but that's learning, not fear.
Cheers, Ferg
