If you want decent rudder pedals then you may want to look at the Flight Link Jet Rudder Control Module from http://www.aviationsimulation.co.uk/acatalog/_Pedals.html It costs over €2000 but they're made to Boeing specs and evidently work really well. They can also be mechanically linked which is useful for cockpit builders.
