Just curious to know why Mooney's require heavy control inputs. I've got a few hours is several type of aircraft and the Mooney just feels heavy. I've flown the C and J models and don't really see that much difference in control. I tried to explain it away to myself and pointed to the tubes as the reasoning for the heavy control inputs, but if that were the case, the RV4, 6 and 7 would maybe feel the same. I know we're talking different airplanes with two completely different wing designs but if you've had your hands on other birds I think you would agree.
So...what is it? The tight feel is great but the control force seems to take higher user input than most. Curious!
