Default issue with handbrake

Hello,


I fly an experimental amphibian Aventura II. I have an issue with the handbrake on the yoke. It is difficult to squeeze. I know a couple older pilots who have a similar problem. I just wanted to know if anyone else flies a similar plane and experiences this issue.

Thanks for any info you can give me,
Chris Houser

Since it's experimental, you could legally modify the handle to provide more leverage (but comply with experimental certification rules).

I realize this. I was just curious to know if anyone else has this problem.
