I've been assembling the adjustable rudder pedal option and I'm concerned
about the orientation of the torsion springs.  As shipped from the factory,
the springs are oriented so as to push the pedals towards the brake
cylinders.  In other words, there will be continuous pressure (estimated 5 -
10 pounds) on the brakes at all times.  I haven't tried reversing them, but
it looks like the springs could be swapped so as to have them lift the pedals
off the brake cylinders.  Ignorant as I am, I assume that would be preferable.

The manual supplement (figure 1) shows the springs oriented so as to push on
the brakes (i.e., they sent me hardware configured like the picture).  
Clearly I am not understanding something.

Any comments?
