One of my Eroupes had rudder pedals. They did camp my legs a little, especially if two people were in the airplane but not badly. What I did like about them though is on a cross country I could trim and keep my heading steering with my feet. On a calm day I could do this for hours. If I was alone I could use the left rudder pedal on the pilots side and the right pedal on the passenger side.
