The instructions have you cut  the F-6115 rudder pedal bearing block in half which removes  material and causes the part to clamp the rudder pedal  assemblies.  Has anyone used spacers between the two halfs to prevent the  action from being so stiff?

It won't feel so bad when you actually get them mounted in

the plane and use your feet. Yes, by hand they feel really

stiff though.

I opened up the holes a  bit for a looser fit.  You don't need anything super precise there, and  less friction is better.

 I didn't use any spacers on mine. I do however have  an alternate center support bushing and mounting bracket that attaches to the  stock firewall support bracket, not shown in the photo.

  

 Feedback and questions are welcome however please  be understanding, I am typing one finger / left handed from rotater cuff surgery  last week.

Paul :



Great looking set of pedals for the 10.  Hope your recovery is 

progressing well.

Wow, now that is what the factory should have designed.  And the cables are concealed within the tunnel.  Reminds me of building hot-rods.  Is the foot pressure stiffer than stock?  

   

Nice photo.

I added washers (same thickness as the band saw blade) between the two parts.



No gaps and no binding.

Deems,



There is one builder that should be installing a set very soon. I will be 

working closely with him on the details.

Marketing effort is slowly underway, for now we are just happy to be back to 

building our 10 kit and working on pedal design for the RV6,7 & 9.

Additionally, I have several pedal sets sold and we are planning a small 

production run. The system cost is $1,795.

I know a patent attorney or two if it would help speed them to market.
