I curious how much the stick force on my Skyview equipped RV-6A would increase by installing the roll servo without it being engaged. Slightly, some, a lot. Thx all

The increase will be so low that it is not detectable in flight. It will be about 1% of full force deflection. It will be slightly noticeable on the ground.

I retrofitted my -6A with the AP. As you know a properly rigged -6 has very low control system friction. Adding the servos adds friction. On the ground is seemed like a lot. I like very light smooth controls so was concerned. In flight, the drag was not noticeable at all. Don't sweat it.
