Default PW-5 PW-6 'stiff' rudder pedals

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?


I have had similar experience / not with PW-5 though / and was able to fix it by
slightly loosening rudder cables tension.
