	Actually those types of planes are good examples. Did you ever try a 
short-field takeoff? It involves holding full up-elevator on takeoff until 
the nose comes up, then keeping in just enough to keep the nose up. The yoke 
force required for this maneuver is quite impressive. Steep turns? Plenty of 
pressure needed there too. And of course any abrupt maneuvers. Personally, I 
am more interested in making the controls feel "right", rather than getting 
the pressure buildup perfectly accurate for a particular aircraft (partly 
because the sim I want to build will be generic).
