Subject: Model 3 Rudder Pedal Weldment Failure Description: Found this tear on the back side of the right passenger rudder pedal weldment after an aborted take off run. The airplane didn't want to turn right and felt mushy on the right pedal. After closer inspection I noticed that the pedals on the weldment didn't line up.
I use the aircraft for giving instruction and often have to over power the student lack of or incorrect rudder input. Mr. McBean is supplying me with a replacement weldment that will be gusseted. If you have an older model KitFox it might be worth your while to take a close look at your pedal assemblies.
