Steve, IMHO there is another way to look at the experience. Marty made it extremely clear that the problem was not the KR2. Under his hand his KR2 was rock steady. Marty taught me to never fly a KR2 with your elbow floating free from your sholder. The weight of your arm is sufficient to produce wild PIO. Once you plant your elbow against your side and only control with your fingers and wrist the KR2 is very stable. Some people (like me) only learn a lesson by making the mistake themselves. Light touch does not mean unstable, it means light touch. If not for Marty Roberts, I would not know the proper way to fly my KR2. Thanks a million Marty!
