I was getting a little frustrated with the overall progress of the build and wanted to do something to help with my motivation. I decided that installing the rudder pedals (Control Approach upgrade) would both make me happy and was something that wouldn’t have an impact on the build process.
The rudder pedals are in my opinion a huge upgrade both visually and functionally. Dealing with Paul was very pleasant as I was not in any rush when I ordered them. I honestly was the biggest holdup as I didn’t have my master cylinders before he was ready to ship, so he ended up sending me the pedals with a set of his master cylinders and I just shipped him the ones I got from Vans in my Fuse kit when it finally arrived. Nothing but great things to say about Paul.
Setup of the pedals was SUPER easy. There are no instructions that come with them, but it’s pretty easy to figure out on your own. Connect the two sets of pedals in the center and screw in the four bolts. Only new skill I had to figure out was how to do the safety wire on the bolts. Quick refresher from YouTube and I was good to go. (Think they turned out pretty well).
The only thing that I don’t like about them at the moment is they are not compatible with the aerosport rudder trim system. Paul has said he is working on something, so fingers crossed that may become a thing.
