I just can't imagine a setup

Take it to someone who builds custom headers and has a 'mandrel' bending
machine. (check speed shops, high performance motorcycle shops, etc.) They
do 'one offs' all the time and it is pretty much time and materials (unless
you bring your own tubing). They might need to get a little creative

Bent would be stronger than welded, as there would be "no heat affected
zone" to weaken the parent material, as you get from welding. A
I'm thinking a quick fix would be to put ?your rudder travel stops coming off
the firewall and hitting the peddle under your foot. Making sure it doesn't
affect your braking. By doing this, it will remove all excessive forces from
the rudder control system.

Just my opinion but the welded (reinforced 90 degree
Yes
, that is good Steve. Mine were .035.
Received a call from Jack Daugherty this afternoon. He has made it home safely.
Spent the night last night in Hobbs New Mexico. Said he encountered some pretty
good winds around Demming. Looks like everyone is home safe.
See you all next year.

The plans rudder pedals were .035. They were upgraded to .049 with hydraulic
brakes but was still problematic. We make all of ours from . 058. Not much
weight gain but much safer/ stronger.

Unless you are rich, I think most people fly at partial throttle in most
airplanes.
Murray didn't have anything to do with the rudder peda, that was my fancy idea.
I never cruise at full power. The way I do it is get to my altidue and open up
tomax. manifold pressure then,nack off a couple inches. Works for me.

What Sparky doesn't mention is that in trying to "keep it light," he lost
his rudder because the tubing he and Murray used to fabricate the rudder
pedals broke at a critical moment when he was caught by a gust on

Speed is more a measure of clean aerodynamics than HP. Joe's KR and mine
