I received the rudder pedals from Velocity. In past Velocity models, the rudder pedals behaved differently than most other airplanes. The (old style) pedals were independent. Meaning that you could depress both pedals at the same time. Once a pedal is pressed past the point that deploys the rudder, pressing the pedal further would activate the brake. There was one advantage to this in that you could press both pedals in flight and by deploying both rudders achieve a kind of speed brake.
But the rudder pedals of nearly all other airplanes are interconnected. Meaning you could only press one at a time. And brakes were activated by pushing on the top of the pedal. Hence, “toe brakes”.
The new, upgraded rudder pedals are like that of traditional airplanes. And those are what I bought.
So I mounted the pedals on the torque tube assembly and began trying to figure out how high to mount the assembly.
Here the pedal assembly is just resting on the keel.
To determine if the height from the floor was correct, I put some pieces of foam to create a height of about where I thought the seat would be then sat down I tried out rudder pedals at different heights.
Once I had to height dialed in, I bolted the whole assembly to the canard bulkhead.
