Have flown with a friend recently who had the feeling the elevator of my Cub was heavier than the previous Cub he flew (L4, mine is a J3).
I don't really understand where differences in feel on the elevator could come from a Cub to another as there is not much area to play with in the elevator chain.
On the ailerons it is possible to adjust the feel by playing a bit on the cable tension but is there any possibility to make the feel lighter on the elevator ?
