JD air is excited to announce the release of our next new product, pedal extensions for the RV 4/6/7/9 series.
The Pedal Extensions improve the RV rudder/brake foot geometry so it?s much easier and safer to taxi, take off, and use full rudder defection without inadvertently touching the brakes. The improved angle prevents ?dragging? the brakes causing premature brake wear and over heating. The pedals were designed by Jason and CNC machined utilizing aircraft aluminum. Jason also did the machining. Each piece is hard anodized in black to minimize wear. The pedals are great looking and install in minutes.
The pedals extensions in use
I was skeptical as to how beneficial the extensions would actually be. Well, after flying them for just a few hours, I don?t know I flew without them. Before the extensions I was always concerned about dragging the brakes, especially with a tail wheel airplane. Now, rudder control is positive with the possibility of brake interaction during normal rudder use eliminated.
Keep in mind, the pedal extensions aren?t to get your feet closer to the pedals but to improve rudder/brake geometry and improve safety. Once you experience the pedal extensions from JDair, I think you?ll agree.
We have the extensions in stock and ready for immediate shipping. The special introductory price is $65.00 per pair plus shipping. Visit www.jdair.com to order. Several new products are in the works to make your building and flying more enjoyable and safer.
