Pierre, I'm usually on the sidelines reading these posts, however on this one I have first hand knowledge. The KR does great aileron rolls. I have also paused for a few seconds inverted and there were no adverse flight habits. I wouldn't fly extended inverted as the airfoil is not symetrical and doesn't fly inverted all that well. As far as the accelerated turning stalls, ...does "opposite" mean the inside or outside wing? It is natural and normal for the wing on the outside of the turn to stall slightly before the wing on the inside of the turn. The only plane that I've ever flown that didn't do this was the Piper "Traumahawk" Tomahawk and even then it tucked inverted only when going in one direction. It reacted properly to the other direction. That being said, I can't recommend stall or aggravated stall maneuvers unless your CG is WAY forward. Anybody want to add to that?
