Question Attn: Mr Nick Lappos

Dear Mr. Lappos,

Was wondering if you, or any other of our learned colleagues on this forum, could assist with a question regarding the S-76.
Primarily of interest is the Collective/Yaw coupling. Should any restriction be felt in the pedals (right pedal) whilst doing taxi turns to the right, with the collective firmly placed at flat pitch.

I recently noticed an aircraft that had the right pedal hitting the stop at approximately 1 inch fwd of the centered position during a tight taxi turn(Is that normal??).
The only way to alleviate this was to raise the collective during the turn.
Correct me if I'm wrong but is there some form of pedal stop in the right pedal.

Thank you

WTF.
