The bellows was the original design. The issue is not bellows or pressurization but is one of aileron system  design.

I'm fine I'm sure.  It's just more sensitive in pitch than roll.  I'm used to it and don't think about it any more.  But when I let other pilots fly, it throws them off a little.

Just wondered if there was some new fangled thing to equalize the forces.  

The stick doesn't get any stiffer as I gain altitude.  So I'm sure I'm fine.

Thanks.  Happy VDay to you!

Yes, my plane has similar traits. I have attached a picture of the “new” kit aileron seal and a rubber bellows which I think will fix the problem.  I have purchased the bellows but have not got around to installing them. A lot of IV-P drivers with the new flat plate sliding seal have complained about high aileron stick force.

 I just purchased a 4P
 It only has 120 hours on it, so still in the debugging stage
 I took it up 10000 feet and when I pressured it the ailerons got really
 heave and stiff that even the auto pilot would not control it
 While descending the Controlls became gradually lighter and normal
 Anybody had the same experience?
