IMHO it's not only the weight but the height, there's a big difference
between pulling the yoke back when you are 20 inches away and 10 inches
away. I know.

I think I am following your thought, but I'm not sure.

Are you saying your height (or lack of it ;-) puts you so close to the yoke
(10 inches) that the closeness makes it much more difficult to pull hard on
the yoke?

I'm assuming that the pedals on the Navion are not adjustable, and that is
what puts you so close to the yoke?
