Is there anyone who can provide the following information for the MD-80
How much force does it take to operate:
rudder
aileron
elevator
brakes
How much force adds a "stick pusher" at the stall.
I believe that I have read that turning full aileron requires approx. 15 lbs force on the ground.
How much extra power will be used on controls during flight, is there force feedbak ? like if speed's faster it's harder to move the columns.
what's the movement angle of the columns ? (max and min angle)
Is the normal column possition 90 degrees (straigt up ?)
Is the angle 90 degrees in straight flight, or is it dependent on the straight flights speed and pitch
Thanks a lot
Best regards
