"Lack of power" is totally dependent on the empty weight of the aircraft you build and the engine you chose to use. It doesn't have to be under powered. Cut the weight or install a larger engine. Just keep in mind that there are limits to either. "Over sensitivity" of controls is a relative term. Depends on what you're used to. A Cessna or Piper it's not but it's no more sensitive then say a Bell 206 Jet Ranger. Talk about sensitive! Yet they are flown everywhere and landed on rooftops and all sorts of places. The KR controls are "light" and "very responsive" but "over sensitive", I don't think so after 70 hours on mine. There have been times, like when my four point harness popped open at 1000 feet, that I've wished the KR to be more stable so I could take my hand off the stick for more than a few seconds and wrestle about the cockpit. But then I wouldn't feel like a fighter pilot after a flight in the KR. As for Jeanette not addressing the problem she did, years ago, witht the 2S. If you are just starting a project that's what you should be building. I've come to realize that it is sometimes the pucker in the seat that pulls the grin on your face. :-) Larry Flesner - 70 hours and still grinning!
