The plans show the F6116 rudder pedal/brake mounting blocks have a 3 degree offset
on the holes - why is this? Which way should they be installed? Can't find
any explanation in the manual.

Shirley:
That offset compensates for the taper of the longeron from
F604 to the firewall that you will mount the blocks to. F604 is wider than
the firewall, so the longerons will not be parallel to themselves in the
area where the rudder pedal mounts are located.
The offsets in the holes for the pedal weldments should therefore point
toward the firewall.
Hope this helps.

I just finished drilling these myself...
Since the fuselage is coming together as you progress forward, you need to
'point' these holes forward so the brake/rudder assy's cross the fuse
properly.
First, I drilled the #12 holes that the bolts go through, then I marked the
upper and lower halves to match them, next I cut them in half the long way
(like the center one) - to facilitate assembly and maintenance.
After determining where I wanted the assemblies installed (had to get the
seats to test sit), I was able to clamp the lower halves in place to drill
through the mid-longeron.
Hope this helps...pictures if you want them...zap me directly.

once you put the pedal assy. in the blocks they only fit nicely one way.The
pedal assy thats a bit longer goes aft then the taper will fit the angle of the
longeron it mounts to. I mounted it as per plans and with the seat in the
rear position they fit me nice at 5'9". Have fun Rick RV 6 90%

The offset is to compensate for the outward cant of the forward sidewall
longeron which they mount on as the fuselage widens to the F-604 bulkhead. When
you hold them in place with the rudder bar installed it will be obvious which
way they should go.
