When I built my KR, I changed the cables to a push-pull tube like on the Lancairs. I made the geomerty so you have to push or pull the elevator control futher but, I still get the full deflection in both directions.

NOT NOT NOT. HEY, I am not saying that the KR has a pitch sensitivity problem. I am just responding to that issue to dispel it as it is a CG problem if you are having pitch sensitivity, or you can't keep from over controlling it. I never had any issues when I had my VW on the plane with the fuel in the header, NEVER. NO PITCH Problems, NONE. I could fly it hands off, and still can. I built fuel tanks that weigh 22 # each and put them in the wings full span between the spars. I thought I had to get the weight back to counter the extra weight of the Corvair. That turned out to be NOT the case. WHAT I AM SAYING is simply that if you have pitch sensitivity issues and you are NOT over controlling the plane, you have a CG problem. I DO NOT have a pitch sensitivity issue even with my plane in the current configuration. It is just too heavy for me to do a decent landing. It takes off and flies great. In fact, yesterday when I had 130# in the right seat, I was flying it "HANDS OFF". I apologize for giving everyone the wrong impression about pitch sensitivity with the KR.
