Kyrilian, nice to see you again at Sun n fun.  I wanted to tell you about a related issue I noticed in my Legacy.  I thought at times the rudder (on the ground) was really stiff, at times I could not turn but sometimes it was easy to turn.  I found out later the nose strut was slightly low and locked into the center position with weight on wheels.  Tonight, after your note, I looked at the cables and they get slack if I move them with the peddles.  That doesn't seem right and removing springs might make that condition worse.   I should go back into the archives to see for myself.  good luck.

There have been countless discussions in the past regarding Legacy rudder stiffness, most dealing with how to reduce friction between the cable and and tube.  As I put my adjustable pedals together I wonder if the included springs may also contribute to excess stiffness.  They seem stiffer than necessary.

Has anyone come up with an alternative to the included springs?  I think someone mentioned removing the springs altogether, but I'm concerned that this will allow them to flop aft, especially on the copilot side.  Any ideas?  Anyone find a source for weaker springs?

 Thanks,
