Isn't the definition of an unstable aircraft basically that if momentarily disrupted from it's flight path it will not attempt to return to it's original state, but instead continue to diverge from that state.
I don't recall anyone (other than Mark L. when his aircraft was flown completely outside the design CG range) ever saying they had this kind of problem with a KR-2/KR-2S. Seems to me everyone who is of the opinion the KR-2s are too responsive for average pilots wants to keep bringing up a mythical stability problem. For those of you building, if you think the control response it too "touchy" for you, you can certainly try to design the responsiveness out of it. You're the builder. However, in my opinion, nothing is gained for the KR community by perpetuating stories of some mythical instability inherent in the KR design. Again, just my opinion.
