I suspect that any glider pilot used to flying with a light touch on
the stick would have a similar experience.

I have had the opportunity to take many rated pilots up for their first
glider lesson. Most caught on pretty quick, but virtually all found the tow
initially difficult. There is one who stands out in my mind as being able to
follow the tow plane on his first attempt without apparent strain.

He was a helicopter CFI.
