Ok I can see that some of you spend too much time on your computer and not
enough time building. First of all with me in my KR, if I had no springs,
no cables, and no brakes attached to my rudder peddles, they still would
have no place to fall except on my feet or shin bones. Get back to the KR
and install the dual peddles that most of you have and you'll see that there
is not really a problem. I flew my KR with the peddles mounted on the
floor with no spring for a few years and finally installed a spring to get
rid of the slop when my feet were occasionally retracted from the peddles.
Your feet can't go far, there is just no room. At the present time my
peddles are hung from the shelf and unless they drop off, they just hang.
Springs are nice to have, but you can get by without them. With heal
brakes, there is still no place for the peddle to fall with you in the
cockpit.
