notmymooney Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Im curious about the right seat pedals on a 1965 Mooney M-20 E Are there legit pedals (right seat) for this plane or are the T shaped little baby pedals what the plane comes equipped with? Also, does anyone know how much it would cost to add brakes to the right seat. Thanks for the help.
Hank Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 The right seat rudders in my '70 C are just like the ones in the left, but without the brakes. Do you have a photo of your baby rudder pedals?
carusoam Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Welcome aboard secretive not my Mooney. The standard rudder pedals for the right seat are just basic tube steal. Additional Brakes are added weight and don't add performance. They can be added to any Mooney and the pedals can be adjusted for comfort with additional hardware. The best way to find out your options will be to put the words like copilot brakes into the search box and see what falls out. Many people have considered adding them. Mostly CFIs that want to train using their own plane. Most Mooney pilots train in something else first. One of the first easy things you learn is how to use the brakes. The CFI doesn't usually need to help with that once they have been learned... Copilot brakes in my plane have probably never been used, intentionally. Is that what you have in mind? Best regards, -a-
Yetti Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 I am going to bet that was the apprentice welding job at the factory. Make tow bars and right rudder pedals until you get really good.... 2
