KR> rudder pedals

The highest load on your rudder pedals will happen under hard braking if you have hydraulic toe brakes. At that point, your pedals aren't going to be anywhere near the stops. The left pedal isn't a problem so much as the right pedal because your feet are on the left side, but the right pedal

This may effect Tail dragger more then nose wheel, but we must check the pedals regularly . No probs yet at 540 hours (nose wheel) I check my pedals at all annuals, I have made my next ones stronger as it will be a T/ Wheel, for more fun. Phil Matheson

My builders guide shows the rudder pedals as bent tube rather than welded. Has anyone built them this way? What are the pros and cons? TK

KR> rudder pedals

Just as a side note on bending. In our manufacturing business we've made hundreds of thousands of bends on tubing. We've owned and used Swiss made mandrel benders and regular hydraulic benders. The mandrel benders if adjusted properly maintain the roundness of the tubing as it's being bent.

Yes , that is good Steve. Mine were .035.

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. Steve Glover Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 10, 2014, at 15:01, Flesner via KRnet wrote: > > At 02:25

Mine broke also. My KR had at least 100 hours on it with the old mechanical brakes and a pull cable. I added hydraulic brakes on the rudder pedals and I snapped a joint like Larry during my initial taxii testing and almost took out some lights at the end of the runway. What I did was to get

Having them hanging from behind the fuel tank I can tell you that I would have them mounted to the floor if it were me, just for easier maintenance. Their support was all in the way of the motor mounts. Even if I were not changing the engine, but just removing the motor mount due to breakage,
