Tanks Tony.
You are absolutely right in your conclusion on the use of Cmos OP amps.
Actually i use one of the OP amp's as integrator and the output looks
into a 100nF
used in a fedback loop.This morning i have solved the "can't belive
oscillation" with a 
220 ohm isolator/buffer on the output and a 10k pullup, also on the
output.
This performs very well.Some times just the 10k pullup are needed.
Without thoose, the amp oscillates like hell when they reach the gain of
+2.
The phase response are of no matter in this design, but i have raised
the impedance
from 8,2k to 12k as you suggested.
Are there any bipolars that can swing from rail to rail?Or fet's?
I havn't seen any!
