I snapped off a rudder pedal and almost took out some lights at the end of the runway in a KR once. Turned out to be a bad weld in the 5/8" pedal tubing. It only had about 50% penetration. It didn't fail in over 100 hours because the previous owner did not have the hydraulic brakes with the brakes on te rudder pedals. I am all for going extra beefy on the rudder horns.
