While I am delighted with the nimble feel of my KF7 I have always felt the elevator controls where a little heavy. This has been added to by the fact that I finally installed my autopilot servos and the standard Dynon servo (32 inch pounds) is not up to the task on pitch as it slips trying to do the test pattern. While an easy (and likely) fix to this is to go to the slightly beefier servo I am curious as to what others get for stick forces in a 7 or SS on the ground. I have the spring assist so the elevator will hold a neutral position. My thoughts are that the drag may be coming from the slip bearing on the elevator pushrod halfway down the fuselage (I think this has been changed to a pivot support on the SS). If anyone out there has a similar set up in a 7 or SS and is willing to do a pull test at the stick I would like to know what forces you are getting.
