I was in the process of final pedal installation this weekend and am now trolling for a bit of advice since I may not have the Matco brake cylinder shaft/pedal attach points correctly positioned.  At the tail end where the rudder cable enters the fuselage, full left rudder moves its cable approximately .75" from neutral and full right rudder moves the right cable approximately .875". For those of you with adjustable pedals, what distance do you get for full pedal throw left and right from neutral pedal position?

Angier,

 

When I go out to the airport today, I will measure my cable movement.  But, I have a straight run for the cable, adjustable setup, remote brake reservoir, copilot side pedals without brakes --- I don't know if there would be a difference in the cable movement.

 

The first thing to do is to make sure that the rudder swing matches the construction manual from stop to stop.  I built a sort of protractor, U shaped with the tails closed in and clamped to the vertical stab and with displacements marked on the bottom of the U.  You may need the deflection to the left stop to recover from a spin, but you will need to have the ability to get to the right stop for all sorts of operations including taxiing, start of takeoff roll, landing in a left cross wind, steep climbs, spin recovery - all because of the strong left turning forces.

In order to acheive full forward pedal movement without binding on the brake cylinder shafts, I may need to adjust the neutral pedal position to about 12 degrees aft of vertical. any problem here?

I'll try to measure that, too.
