Thumb and Description for Image 1: Stephens new heli pedals. They are even adjustable. Built completely from home improvement store parts. As you can maybe see, the pedals are mounted to a board thats attached to the cockpit floor from underneath. This way, the pedals can be replaced easily by another kind (eg. GA/jet pedals instead of helicopter pedals). | |
Thumb and Description for Image 2: The adjustment handle is actually an from an old water faucet :-). There are some pictures on airliners.net that served Stephen as a guide for building those pedals. The real ones on the pictures Stephen showed me actually looked as if they also used parts from a water faucet :-) | |
