EVA problem

[alfrank]

in the videos when the kerbal lets go of the ladder he just floats there making it easy to jet backwards to the science jr. But when i let go and activate rcs the kerbal gets a kick about two axes and in trying to recover from that I lose the ship. What am I doing wrong?

Well the kerbal will try to orient itself northwards when it enables rcs. So try to either orient the hatch do that the kerbal doesn't hit the spacecraft or wait a while so that the kerbal has  clearance to activate rcs.
