The rudder force required for the DC3 was/is indeed 180 Lb, which, at the time that I flew it, exceeded my body weight.

Maybe I should go back and do it again, now that my body weight is somewhat in excess of 180 Lb.

As John_T indicates, the requirement now is for a much more "sissy" 150 Lb.......

Regards,
