PW-5 PW-6 'stiff' rudder pedals by son_of_flubber
Coming from SGS and Blanik glider experience, the rudder pedals in a PW-6 seem "stiff" to me. 1.Are the rudder pedals in a PW-5 likewise stiff? 2.Is the stiffness a design shortcoming or a feature? Does the stiffness have any purpose? Do some people prefer this feel?
