I did a search but could not find this info. I'm trying to decide where to set my rudder pedals and need to know how much they travel forward from the neutral position when fully deflected (nose gear and rudder cables attached.) With this info I'll be able to adjust for maximum legroom without worrying about running out of rudder or ground steering.
Thanks!
Tim

Tim,
I take it you don't have cables to the rudder yet as there is a
specification for rudder travel. I will be at the airport tomorrow and
can look at mine.

You are correct. I will be installing the nose strut and making rudder cables in the next few weeks.

2" should do it (neutral to firewall)

Tim,
I expect you have already received this from someone but I just
found the note. On mine, with both peddles at the same position, they
are 6 1/8 inch from the aft side (seat side) of the peddle bar to the
firewall.
At the extreme rudder deflection, the distances are 8 5/8 and 4 1/4
inches for the two peddles. This may be slightly closer to the firewall
than some would do it. I have a tall friend who flies with me and I
moved the peddles as far forward as possible.

Mark,
See if I have this right - from neutral, your rudders move a little more than two inches in each direction? That corresponds to other info I've gotten. I may set my neutral even closer to the firewall than you. My experience is limited but I could have used a bit more room in the two Zodiacs I've flown in.
Thanks!
Tim
