If a servo is properly designed the resistance to movement in an unpowered state should be minimized by the sizing of the bypass valve. Regarding the sloppy link or as it is correctly called, a mechanical disconnect, it is always small. It should take no more than .002" of movement to get the servo to move and, no more than .012" of movement to bottom it out in order to move the servo in an unpowered state.
REGARDING THE HYDRAULIC FAILURE, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD FAILED BUT ONLY TO SHOW A NEW OWNERS FRUSTRATION REGARDING THE RELIABILITY OF THE R44 RAVEN.
