I confess I had a hard time getting my mind around the idea of no rudder pedals, and even did a lot of pressing on the floor boards at first, but now I love it, and the aircraft performs very well in crosswinds without them. Query how effective the rudder pedals really are at slow airspeeds as at round out.and flare for landing; i.e., do they really make that much difference? Anyway, N2180H doesn't have them, and as far as I can tell now, they are not missed at all in this aircraft.
