Rudder Pedals

Postby JAB » Wed May 20, 2009 3:39 pm

Hi Chaps

Just a quick heads up on a small problem I have encountered during my permit/annual maintenance.
Upon checking the range of movement of the rudder pedals from underneath the aircraft [panels removed] I found that the the rudder tension bungie metal 'C' endcaps were snagging on the end of the rudder pedal footplate thus restricting full rudder movement bothways.

My footplate, which is small one, had some slackness in the bracket clips.

I have checked on another Nipper to see if it is a problem but that one appears ok.

As a precaution I suggest that you all check for fouling and range of movement of your rudders thus hoping that this is a one off.

Cheers

John
