Looks like a hokey setup to me, and I=99m not sure they=99re worth the time and effort. Some threads on other sites seem to support that conclusion. Am I missing something?

They will only be in your way in the front seat. When I am flying by myself the foot wells make nice storage compartments for wallets, cases, etc. Regards George On 2/24/2012 1:54 PM, stazel@cpros.com wrote: > I purchased the rear rudder pedal option, but Im not sure I want to > bother with them.

The only time they might get in the way is if you have someone with big boots on in the back seat. You have to make sure you trian that perso n to keep their feet (toes) out against the fuselage skins during take off and landing. You can still us the foot wells for storage when flying by yo urself. > Date: Fri=2C 24 Feb 2012 15:28:45 -0600 > From: geezer02@windstream.net > To: rv8-list@matronics.com > Subject: Re: RV8-List: Rear rudder pedals > > > I put mine in just for some training to my wife.
