Subject: Stiff controls at higher speeds in IV-P

Have any other builders experienced excessively stiff controls in flight?  Our controls are very loose and smooth on the ground, and are loose and smooth in slower flight.  Around and over 160 KIAS, the stiffness in the aileron controls becomes significant, and the faster we go, the stiffer they get.  The force required to initiate a turn has prevented us from getting our STec 55 A/P system working as smooth as it should.  Have any other builders had this problem and what solutions have worked.
