Rudder pedals not centered on pilot?
I just put my rudder pedal assembly into the right side up fuselage. It seems kind of strange that the rudder pedals don't center on the stick opening in the seat floor. Instead, they seem to center on the outboard floor stiffeners (on both sides) which are not directly in front of the pilot. Thus, it seems like the pilot has to point legs to the outboard a little rather than straight forward. At first I thought maybe I had the fore-aft position of each weldment (right and left) reversed, but no, the cable "tabs" are both in the outboard-most positions. Is this offset true with all side x side RV's or is mine the only one?
