Jeff I understand this completely but when I was taking some measurements while sitting in the plane, with the pedals mounted on the floor, the "pedal" part that makes contact with my foot does so more or less on the ball of my foot which is good. However, that point is more than half way between the floor and the bottom shelf above. Therefore if I simply mount the same pedals on the shelf aboive, they are now going to contact my foot much lower down closer to my heels which to me wouldn't be very comfortable. The cable attach point would be the same distance from the fulcrum for both installations obviously. So my question is: Did those that mounted their pedals upside down shorten the "height" of the pedals to compensate for this? I am building a retractable system similar to the lancair for my KR and need the floor to be void of obstacles. Dene
