Brief Description: Aircraft Spruce Forum Q&A 20090521-E Rudder Pedals
Maybe we move it back enough so front seat would have to do the John Denver where the uninitiated would have no idea or initiative to reach back. Thanks for making me think some more about it Frank. _________________ Starduster History

Yes that is an excellent idea. For some reason I thought the attachment was welded in place but when I looked it was bolted in place. Moving aft I can get the rudder pedal stanchion 4 inches closer to my feet. However I see one problem I'm not sure how to get around. The floor brace is in the way if moving it aft as you can see in the picture. Any ideas?
