Thanks for the welcome Scott,

I'd estimate the force to be 15-20 lbs at 150kts. And static on the ground about 10lbs. It is most bothersome on takeoff roll trying to correct for P-factor. Especially if I'm trying to maintain directional control with the rudder instead of the brakes. It really seems to take about 20 lbs then. Again, it might be normal. That's why I'm trying to see how others are.

Steve,

Let me add my welcome to the Lancair community and the LML.

The rudder is the heaviest control on the LNC2, and to me that is good. The pitch is super sensitive (understatement!) and the roll is pretty darn light and nice. You might have normal rudder forces, and it does sound like you have normal routing on your calbles. What would you esitimate your pedal force to be at 150 knots, or some other data point? Is it difficult to move on the ground?
