elevator control while on ground, stopped, is quite light but stiffens
when the flying surface is loaded with aerodynamic forces.

=20

I have also read that the elevators on Velocities are quite effective
and take very little input to make the plane do what they need to and
Cessna drivers have a tendency to over-control.

=20

So, for those in the minority who are flying the yoke system, how stiff
is your yoke system?  How much force does it take to move the elevator
up and down?  Does your trim motor move the elevator on the ground
without you "assisting" the yoke?
