jetdriven Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Where do you typically like your rudder pedal angle? We installed extensions and they sit quite vertical. So much in fact all 3 of us pilots have managed to get swervy on landing due to inadvertantly using the brake on landing. They can be adjusted. But how far? what angle? Quote
Skywarrior Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Me too. I've nearly departed the runway a couple of times due to this. Chuck M. Quote
flyboy0681 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 My 3" extensions sit straight-up and I have absolutely no braking problems. If it weren't for the extensions I probably wouldn't be flying a Mooney. Quote
Shadrach Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 I've often wondered if they're worth the trouble... My Dad is 5'5" formerly 5'6" and has over 2000hrs in Mooneys. He's never mentioned a problem with the stock arrangement...and he's not proportioned like a super model either. His actual inseam is probably around 28"ish... He flys with the seat full forward or 1 notch back...that may change if he "fills out" a bit more... Quote
flyboy0681 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 All I'll say is that I'm smaller than your dad. Quote
DaV8or Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 I'd like the 1.5" ones just for comfort. I do fine with the stock, but I feel the little extra would make it really comfy. Quote
jetdriven Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 It appears the factory 3" pedal extension kit geometry makes the pedals stand up verticasl even with the adjustment all the way down Quote
