Hi John, you quote...
Negative .. refer, for instance, to
FAR25.173 and
FAR 25.175.
If you notice these refer to Transport Category Aircraft. The stick only controls a piston in the Hydraulic Servos, which move the flying surfaces. The stick forces are all engineered feedback, much the same as power steering on modern cars... Its all artificial feedback, and on some cars can be switched high or low, or even a different sensitivity at different speeds.
