The basic pattern for modern flight controls was pioneered by French aviation figure Robert. When folded down they are completely ineffective, meaning you don't have to worry about your rear seat passenger stepping on a pedal at a bad time. Even when an aircraft uses variant flight control surfaces such as a V-tail ruddervator, flaperons, or elevons, to avoid pilot confusion the aircrafts flight control system will still be designed so that the stick or yoke controls pitch and roll conventionally, as will the rudder pedals for yaw. Note: They do not work in RV-8s or other aircraft where the rudder cables are below the floorboardsThe pedals are 6' tall, 3 1/2' wide and are made from 1/2' diameter Stainless SteelAs seen in the photos, the pedals fold up for use and fold down to the floor when not needed. They look good, work great, are easy to install, and fold down to the floor when not in use.Originally designed for Rockets and RV-4s, these pedals can be installed in aircraft having rudder cables that run above the floorboards along the sidewalls. Either way, installing a set of rudder pedals in the rear seat is an airplane essential, and we think this rudder pedal kit is one of the best available. This will help you obtain full rudder travel and will establish a comfortable position for your legs. Or, if you're feeling brave, let them have full control while you take a nap. Try locating the rudder pedals so that they permit your knees to be slightly bent (see Figure 3) so as to form an approximate 120 angle (no more than 155) between your upper and lower legs.
