The archives and the old newsletters are full of this stuff, and like the old retractable gear, was a primary topic of discussion and ideas. The retract problems were solved by getting rid of it. The plane is responsive, and that is all there is to it. I can tell you, however, having flown one with center stick and one with dual stick, that the dual stick is much easier for controlling the pilot inputs.
If you want to change this characteristic of the KR, you are probably going to have to turn it into a different plane. The RV is also a very responsive plane, so why do you not continually hear about its responsiveness in the light of being a problem??? Who knows?

Heath - Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- would it be possible to make it control more like a trainer and then transition the controls to a sportier version later as the pilot gained experience in the craft?
