I have taken elevator pushrod force measurements and was surprised.
Elevator pushrod forces to stick forces are about 6.5 to 1
The trim system, when dialed in, provides these forces.
 
At 190 imph and -7º flaps, there is a 60lb forward force.
At 80 imph and 10º flaps, there is about zero force.
At 80 imph and 20º flaps, there is a slight (-1lb) rearward force.
 
These numbers are with the horizontal stabilizer built at -1.2º
- - - plans range is -0.5º to -1.0º
 
An input from the flap bellcrank of about 20-40 lb at -7º would be good,
 tapering down to zero lbs at 10º flaps
 
A horizontal stabilizer built at -0.5º would, of course, change these numbers.
