In Response To: another idea for that system (mike allen --->)

: but then to get the foot pedal system, just cutout the upper
: quadrant on each side and hinge it so that each side makes a typical pedal
: flopper. glue a full size footpad on each

forgot to mention that instead of the auto adjust pedal lines going around the pivot point to the front bulkhead (or track) like the nz/schade/sealine systems, put the bottom line thru the bottom of the extended pedal (or if the pedal is only top hinged, extend a horn below).

then you get 2x the actuation on the rudder for the same pedal motion. Depending on footroom and the rudder/skeg setup leverage or throw this difference could be premium.
