As previously noted in this thread and the NTSB report, the maximum rudder pedal travel at the accident airspeed was 1.2 inches, the breakout force was 22 pounds and the maximum deflection force was 35 pounds.

The PF got full rudder -- whether that was what he wanted or expected from his inputs is another question.
