Is the rudder pedal "force" the problem, or is it that the rudder tends to "hold" in place. In other words, is it the initial release force - the force required to start the rudder moving - we're talking about? Once moving does the force required remain the same?

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?

Steve,

Greetings!<= /p>

Is the rudder pedal = “force” the problem, or is it that the rudder tends to “hold” in = place. In other words, is it the initial release force – the force required = to start the rudder moving – we’re talking about? Once moving = does the force required remain the same?
