The best adjustment to the PIO potential issues is the method Adrian Carter explained on his site, which I used in the changes on my KR2 and it has worked flawlessly. This is a change that is flight tested and I have found with this one change that the KR2 flies very comparable in a good way with fast planes like a Mooney or Bonanza. My site has some pictures of the change and Adrian actually has a drawing of his method. Both reduce the elevator movement ratio compared to stick movement, without losing total range of motion. I also changed the aileron bellcrank the way Larry F. re-rdilled his to get full range of motion there and increase actuation for the same stick motion. This is accomplished by re-drilling the aileron bellcrank in towards its center by 1/2" in order to get more actuation for the same stick movement. It also has the nice benefit of making the controls feel the same as far as how sensitive, which allows for an even faster transition, since all controls are now sensitive.
Another suggestion is to fly fast in a couple of planes. ALL planes get sensitive at speed, especially above 100 knots, so fly some in anything above 100 knots, even a C172. Do some low approaches at speed and adjust to the increased sensitivity. Also fly some with an instrument training hood on and get used to smaller and more frequent inputs. These things will train your brain to raise your skill level and be more willing to accept the variations between aircraft and speeds. Colin N96TA
