about 45 deg of bank and Haul Back on the stick. The airplane turns on a
dime with no tendency to stall. It feels a lot like doing a hook turn on a
slalom ski around a float. Why does a Kolb do this and most other AC do
not?

Here is 1 reason that may shed some light on the question.
My mark III has close to the same amount of wing as a cub or a Cessna
150.... and the GA aircraft have twice the empty weight of the kolb... if
you double the weight of your aircraft it will start responding the same as
the GA craft..... also try pulling it into a 75 deg bank and haul back on
the stick.... it will give you 6 cents change. When I have done this at
a lower airspeed and power level... I will hear a different prop noise...
that is telling me that the airflow into the prop is changing due to the
airflow over the wing starting to separate, approaching an accelerated
stall.
