While in Redmond during the Lancair Fly-in I noticed a different type of rudder pedal set-up in one of the Legacies being built in there.  Instead of being floor mounted, they were hung from above, with the pivot point above the pedals. 
 
I can see how this would be beneficial in allowing more leg room, once your feet come off of the rudder pedals, (in flight) it would allow you to "stow" them under the pedals and all the way forward to the firewall.
 
Does anyone have experience with this set-up?  Any pros or cons I am not thinking about? 
 
Being 6' 4", I have marginally enough leg room in the Legacy and could really use an inch or two more.
