Your observations are similar to my own. I have about 85 hours on the mod
and as with most things =2Cyou get used to it.

Dear Technical Support=2C
This morning I test flew N196ZP Ch601XL B model serial number 6-4839 at my
local airport (SDC) with that in mind=2C I was a bit concerned over the "st
iffness" of my ailerons. Before the mod I would describe my Zodiacs handli
ng as superb=2C but today control forces in the roll aspect of flight were
quite stiff and required some force to move.
Is this normal? I would assume some change in the handling qualities due t
o the mods/aileron counterweights=2C but I definitely was not that comforta
ble with the aileron response.
Should the cable tension be backed off a bit? Are you fielding similar res
ponse from other "modifiers'?
Other than that=2C I have attached some pictures of our latest iteration of
our much loved Zodiac. We stripped all the paint off of her this winter w
hile we completeed the mods and I am now trying to debug the aircraft after
sitting for 1.5 years. Also=2C sorry about Sun N' Fun I was very saddened
by the misfortune caused by the weather=2C I can't even imagine what it mu
st feel like.
Well thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely=2C
