Run,
How much force do you have to use to move the stick and throttle in the F-16 roughly taking a guess? With regards to the stick (electronics)is it able to understand how fast the stick is being moved as well?
Thanks

-The stick can move approximately 1/4 inch in both axes, and is rotated slightly cw. Maximun noseup and nosedown pitch commands are genrated by 25 and 16 pounds of input, respectively. Roll commands are generated by a maximum of 17 pounds in cruise gains and by 12 pounds in takeoff and landing gains.
-The throttle can be adjusted to whatever you like.
- As soon as there is a change in pressure on the stick, the aircraft will respond accordingly

The stick can only move 1/4 of an inch maximum in all directions?

Yes, that's correct.

Hmm..I am surprised at this, with my stick it moves at least 2.5 inches in all directions, does this not make the F-16 difficult to handle becuase it must be very sensitive with so little movement in the stick, basically I think it would be so sensitive that even the slightest movement would make a nice response to the control surfaces, would I be right to say this? I mean 1/4 of an inch is not a great amount.

Hi
You get used to it after a while. Then it's actually nicer than a conventional stick.
