I did a test fit of my rudder and brake pedals in the fuselage today. I don't have seats yet, so I used styrofoam cushions I built up -- whose thickness is probably not the same as the real seat cushions.
I found that the rudder pedals were too far above the floor for my taste. My heels would have to rise well above the floor to use the toe brakes. Has anybody tried to mount the rudder blocks below the fuselage stiffener, rather than above as the plans show? That would lower them enough to be more comfortable, I think.
Or should I just get used to it, or wait until I have the "real" cushions before modifying things?
Thanks!
