I finally have all the flight controls adjusted with the correct degrees of movement,
but when I tried out the Aileron Trim, it sounded like a rusty old gate
in sore need of oil. It's obviously the springs. Anybody else experience this?
Also, the springiness of the stick seems awfully weak.

Yup, that's the right sound alright and you really don't want to "feel"
the springs that much, rather that they "feel" that they aren't there. I
find that I can "feel" them if I think about it and want to know that
they are connected but otherwise I don't really notice them any more. It
was suggested to me to put some Teflon tape on the push-pull rod if I
wanted the springs to be quiet but as for the "rusty gate" sound...hard
to hear that over the engine and with ear phones on! I opted to just
grease the springs and rod with Teflon grease. I still hear some sound
but "feel" that any abrasion has been minimized.
