I think that what we are most used to is pulling the steering "levers" fore and aft in opposite directions and that is what our mind/muscle connections are well versed in.
This arrangement really wants us to split the directional input into 2 completely discrete elements.
Left/right with respect to forward motion with our legs, and tilt left/right at the same time with our arms (when our mind is screaming "pull harder to make the turn"). It may all be counter intuitive at first.
I suspect (but don't know) that if you took someone who had no "previous" conceptions as to how such a trike could/should steer then they might get it under their belt quicker because they are not fighting "known behaviours" and will just make it happen.
It seems to me that any arrangement with 2 Axis at 90° to each other will always have the ability to introduce 6-degrees of freedom as it will combine some elements of both pitch & yaw to varying degrees.
How we control this and limit the "floppiness" (if you will allow the word) is the trick. You could ingest large doses of madixxadroopin or Macoxxafloppin if the whole thing isn't stiff enough.
Many wives recommend these drugs for their men.
