Brief Description:  Rudder Pedals – Finish V2.0

Well, as I mentioned in the last post, I was all done with the adjustable rudder pedals – except for installing the cotter pins on the castle nuts. I figured I would whip those right on easy breezy and move on to something else. Well… it’s not as if they are difficult to put on, but I did have some washer spacing that needed to be reworked. The goal is to get the castle nut far enough past the hole in the bolt to be able to pass the cotter pin through easily, but not have any “slop” or “play” in the bolt/nut/washer/fitting. So, after refitting a few of them and bending per the AC 43.13, I am very happy with the lack of slop in the rudder pedals - they glide nicely back and forth. Next, I clecoed them in to the cockpit. They look very cool.
