Hmm, unfamiliar. In my 182 I can move the pedals to full deflection while static on the ground, and the rudder moves too - or I can move the rudder by hand (and do on every pre flight). And that's true for every type I'm reasonably familiar with - including taildraggers (Citabria, Pitts, T6, ...). They all have some kind of spring or bungee cord in the linkage. It may take a bit more force but nothing extraordinary or to the point where you worry you might break something. (We won't talk about the Great Lakes which seems to have a very thin elastic band rather than an actual spring).
