CT2K Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi All. Just wondering if someone has fitted anything on those rudder pedals we have on CTs, I mean anything that covers those boring sticks and that can look a little sexier.

It's a rudder pedal, not a fashion statement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Sexier pedals? Are you proposing transgender pedals? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'd be real careful about attaching anything to the rudder pedals without being very, very certain that the modification doesn't interfere with pedal travel under any circumstances. We read all the time about tools and other stuff left in airplanes resulting in jammed controls. Why increase the chances of a problem?

CT2K Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Guys, you'r right about safety, nothing loose, and the like, no issue around that. I was just thinking why FD didn't try something like the following pictures, for instance, and I was asking if someone around this forum has fitted sth of their own.

Tom Baker Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 The "T" shaped pedal, especially when you don't have toe brakes is a classic standard shape. The only reason to change is if you need additional functionality. The pedals you showed are designed for toe brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Koerner Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 ... but It seems to be missing the hand rest front and center on each side??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT2K Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I Know it’s been a long while since we exchanged a bit of humor on this topic,,, just wanted to update you on what I fitted on my pedals. Did that for both pilot and passenger sides. Not bad, hein? I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Koerner Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wow! the petals even match the carpeting. Mike Koerner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT2K Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks for the good catch. The match was definitely not on purpose. I was looking for something that could add stiffness and that prevents feet from slipping, but now that you pointed the match I like it even more !

I certainly am not a fan of the standard bars.. they tend to be slippery especially on taxiing. Looking for a mod myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little wing walk material wrapped around the pedals will make them non-slip if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Meade Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 On long trips, I slip my loafers off and slip one foot between the rudder pedals and one foot outside. This mod would preclude that it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
