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. Bill Rumburg N403WR (Sonic Boom)
