Sid, half-pound increments on the dial may be to large a scale. I think my stick forces are in the ounce range. A slight pressure with thumb and finger is all I need to maneuver and if the stick moves I'm over controlling. :-) In spite of that my KR is one of the nicest flying and smoothest landing airplanes I've flown in 1300+ hours. The 180 mph fly-by with a pull up to pattern altitude is a bit of a rush too.
