I realize most of you guys have already moved way past the King Air, and you probably consider it a very simple and easily-flown aircraft. And I think so. too. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so if I can hand-fly it thru all phases of flight it can't be too hard.
However ...
I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a handle on the taxi and the take-off roll. There is a VERY noticeable lag on the pedals so I find I'm using a lot of differential thrust to stay on the centerline and to turn smoothly (well ... smoothly for me
). And on take-off, our B200 power levers are not 'symetrical' and so you have to have the left level about 1/2" ahead of the right all the way up. Being so new at it, when I don't move them up perfectly, and then I have to fight the pedal lag, I look like I'm dodging small arms fire as I roll for take-off. 
Any tricks, tips, or advice for making my B200 foot work as smooth as the B58s? Is it just a lack of experience, that comes up to speed with hours in the B200?
