Gang,
I just got done flight testing our new rudder pedal brackets in the Yak-50. They're a nice change. The additional 3" of leg room is noticeable and there are no clearance issues.
We need to find a local Yak-52 to confirm that there are not any clearance issues in the front cockpit, and then we'll do our first production run. We currently have about a dozen orders waiting and would like to complete the development stage ASAP. If any local Yak-52's are interested, we will give you a free set ($250 value) plus free installation (another $225 value) for bringing your Yak to Chino for a day.
Please contact me directly if you are interested and we will put it on the schedule.
Happy Yakkin',
Barry

The rudder pedal brackets are designed to fit the original pedal assemblies used in pneumatic systems. I don't know if the -55 has pneumatic brakes or not. They will not work in a -52TW, but will work on a -52TD, provided they are original brakes.
I believe I have someone willing to test the brackets on a -52 in the front seat in the next few weeks. So, we should have a definitive answer on the -52 front cockpit soon.
Cheers,
Barry

Speaking of rudder pedal mods, as most people know that have ridden in the back seat of a 52, the rudder pedals rearward travel is significantly less than the front cockpit.
If anyone wants more room leg room in the back cockpit of a 52, there is a fairly easy solution to make the rear rudder pedals adjust to the same travel distance as the front.
Remove the adjustment knob.
Remove the oval shaped cover plate just behind the knob by removing the two small screws that hold the cover plate to the assembly.
Reinstall the adjustment knob and the center screw. You will remove it again shortly.
Now pull the jack screw assembly forward using the adjuster knob.
At the back end of the jack screw you will see a metal sleeve about 5/8" in length. Slide this sleeve off the jack screw.
Slide the jack screw back into position.
Remove the adjustment knob again and slide the oval cover plate back into position and secure with the two small screws.
Reinstall the adjustment knob, locking tab and screw.
Now the rear cockpit rudder pedals will move approximately 2" further to the rear with the adjustment knob.
Do check for clearance between the back of the rudder pedal and the main spar. Adjust forward as necessary.
