You 5'10" people out there, what distance are most of you using for the rudder pedal bearing block to the firewall? Dwg 37 shows a minimum distance of 3".
Thanks for any replies.

I don't think the persons height matters as much as their inseam. I made four position holes for my pedals and I ended up in the third position aft from the FW. I have a 30" inseam. Here is a pic of my setup showing the location closest to the FW: http://jmjula.home.comcast.net/~jmjula/images/fuselage/f_rudder_pedal_a.jpg

Reduce to 2", not less, otherwise problems occur ...
Hello ?
I put mine after deep investigation much more forward, the reccomendet 3" I reduced to 1.6".
This called many changes and in the end I was very lucky, that I could install the recess in the center! 1/4" more foreward, and it will be unpossible to install.
I adviced my tall buddy's to go not less than 2", thats a value that you can handle better, also in does not need much changes at the brackpedals too.
I also lifted the UHMW blocks by 3/4" from the aluminumangle, ok, I have no.12 in shoes.
