Rear rudder pedals and brakes made and installed

5.0

fuselage

DETAIL:

I pulled the rudder pedals from the other GN-1 I bought last month and modified them for use in mine.  The pivot point for the lower master cylinder mount was too far away from the pivot of the pedal and the geometry changed too much at extreme pedal travel.  I made a new attach point on the actual pedal itself so no matter where the pedal is the toe brake tab will not move.

I then sat in the rear cockpit and determined where the pedals should go.  Struck a line with a pencil and drilled the 4 holes in each pedal mount and secured them in place with AN-4 bolts.

Next I'll work on installing the control stick assembly from the other GN-1.
