rudder FLCS command

Salute!

Just out of curiosity, how much do the pedals move in the 'bus to command full deflection?

Does the rudder law use any dynamic pressure to limit full deflection or speed/rate of deflection?

As an early user of a FBW system I am simply interested. In our Viper, the rudder pedals moved less than an inch but they moved, whereas the stick did not move it at all until they reconfigured it to move about 1/8 inch. BFD. There was no tactile feedback to provide a clue as to how much rudder or aileron or stab movement/ deflection resulted. Twas all pound/ounces of pressure, and you could trim the gee and do a loop with feet off the pedals and hands off the stick!

Here's the rudder implentation. Very straight forward.
