Control breakout forces
Salute!
Good point John the Moderator.
I'll try to talk with some of those guys in the demo program, but I can't help thinking that GD had the 1 pound breakout force.
The "stiff" stick in the first few dozen jets didn't feel like it took much pressure to "breakout". The Block V jets with the small movement felt "squishy" at first, but might have helped with formation flying. Didn't do a thing for A2A fights. You will note that our force-versus-command plot was not linear ( roll command gradient graphic posted earlier). Wonder what the plot looks like for the 'bus? Same question for pounds per degree of control stick deflection - is it constant?

Sadly, a new leak points to a "pitch up" and ensuing loss of control. Makes me cry.
more on this later.
