| Subject: | Rudder position in an XL |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Bill Howerton" <Bill@Howerton.com>
As I round the corner in my fuselage building, I noticed that in the next
section of the plans I am to decide on the position of the rudder pedals.
This is of course without the aid of an available set of adjustable XL seat
and pedals to measure against. Talk about having to take shots in the dark!
I've searched the archives to little avail, so I'm asking for your inputs
where you guys set yours at. I noticed that this question has been asked
before, but no one seems to have gotten a coherent answer. Perhaps ZAC and
company might consider putting a simple chart on their website
According to the plans (6-B-9 and instructions 6-B-8 page 1), they can be
set from 245 to 200 mm from the front of the cabin floor skin and the
firewall. I'm a fairly short man - 5'8" with a 31 inch inseam. Normally
when I fly in a 172, I have to push the seat almost all the way forward, and
crank it up to it's highest position to be able to comfortabley manipulate
the pedals and to allow me to see over the cowling.
Is there anyone else in that size range? what did you set your rudder pedal
position to?
