I think the rudder pedal comments from both Chris Zavatson and Bill Rumburg

apply to an earlier style pedal assembly. With my adjustable pedals, the

cables connect directly to the firewall, then move aft through an S shaped

tube attached to each pedal and from there,go directly back to the rudder.



Angier -



   After I commented on the smoothness of operation of my dual rudder

installation, Chris mentioned "adjustable" rudder pedals and it crossed

my mind that that, plus right side brakes, may be the reason others

have encountered stiff and unacceptable operation with their dual

rudder installations.

   I installed the "ground" adjustable rudder pedals shown in the

construction manual and have very smooth and problem-free operation.

   I'm 5'10 and on the two or three occasions when others have sat

in the left seat, they seemed to find rudder/brake pedal settings to

be at least acceptable (They're lucky to have sat there !!)

   Lancair may not like this, but I question whether the "quick-adjust"

pedals are worth the expense or problems.
