## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTS THAT SERVO IS HARD TO MOVE.  WHEN SERVO IS MOVED BY PILOT INPUT TO TAIL ROTOR PEDALS, THE SERVO MOVES THE PEDAL FULL FORWARD TO ITS STOPS OR FULL AFT DEPENDING ON WHICH PEDAL IS MOVED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, THE PEDALS SHOULD ONLY MOVE AS FAR AS THE PILOT MOVES THEM.
