 stick takes a LOT of force in roll at those speeds. 


	


The controls get increasingly heavy on my -7A at increasing airspeeds also, especially above 180 KIAS.  In fact, in power on descents when it rather easily gets to its 200kt Vne, the heavy stick forces are as reliable an the airspeed indicator.  The 200hp -7A is already like the -10 in that it is more nose-heavy than the 180hp 2 seat RV's, and it is for that reason a little more stable IFR platform than the lightweight engine + prop combinations.
