My friend Giff (Gifford Gillingham) a prolific airplane builder made my stick and pedals for me. The pedals are about as light and simple as they can be made and eliminated the geometry problem with the master cylinders. Giff has used this set up on other airplanes and it worked for him so I think its good enough for me. The pedal hinges are tube in a tube with some ears welded on to mount them.
