Today I bolted the rudder pedals into the fuse. This was very straight forward. There is a plastic block on either side that has a hole recessed into it. The pedals crossbar slides into one of these holes. The stock system has two crossbars, and thus two holes. The plate that the plastic block bolts two can also fit into the fuselage in two positions: one further from the pilot, and one closer. I chose the further slot for more leg room. Also, since my system only has one cross bar, I had to choose which of the two holes to set it in. At first I tried the forward hole… just to get another 2 inches of legroom, but in this position, the left most brake cylinder could hit the parking brake valve. So I had to move it to the aft hole.
I also test fit the brake lines I got from Bonaco. They are the standard RV10 kit, but with the aftermarket pedals, they ended up being a bit too long. I’m mailing them back to Bonaco with some marks on them, and they’ll shorten them up for me.
