studi,
I think you can train it. I used to be a bit twitchy when I was just learning to fly. I think I largely overcame that tendency .

Don't rule out that thought, although there may be more ways to do that effect than direct injection.

The roll channel gains in ALT2B appear to be a bit on the high side which promotes roll instability. Things could be done to make it easier to avoid roll oscillation. For example, if the roll gain started at a lower level and ramped up to what the engineers believe to be a minimum mandatory level over a period of time (eg 15 seconds), then a guy who was starting off green would have a bit of time to get the feel of its sensitivity and avoiding overcontrol/PIO.

Due to the needs of running a business, I have not taken the time to analyze the final report data. I expect to do that eventually. That really was a nice analysis tool that HN39 provided.
