Stick Force, Detent

The term 'detent' with SS controls keeps garabbing my attention.

So please excuse my ignorace of how the Buss's SS are rigged.
Reference point is the fly by wire stick on A-7 Corsair II aircraft.

The stick was mounted on a set of force bars with transducers.
Electronics package was set to ingnor stick forces under 4 pounds.

There was very little if any actual travel as I recall.
