We fly two PW-6's at Cotswold Gliding Club with generally no rudder
problems. Can you feel any undue resistance or friction when you move the
rudder from side to side by hand? Also - have you had a good check for
loose articles in the front rudder pedal assembly and under the seats?

Coming from SGS and Blanik glider experience, the rudder pedals in a

1.Are the rudder pedals in a PW-5 likewise stiff?

Its a while since I flew a one, but I don't remember any stiffness. IIRC
all controls felt as free and responsive as one of my club's SZD Juniors
or the Std Libelle I flew shortly after getting out of the PW-5.
