Kyrilian,

I have the pedals on both pilo= t and copilot side and removed the springs on they copilot side as recommen= ded by Justin at Lancair.

The rudders are still a = bit stiff, but acceptable. The pedals flopping aft is not really an issue.<= /div>

Not the best fix, but that is my experience.

You could also replace them with  a set from Starf= light:

There have been countless discussions in the past regarding = Legacy rudder stiffness, most dealing with how to reduce friction between t= he cable and and tube.  As I put my adjustable pedals together I wonde= r if the included springs may also contribute to excess stiffness.  Th= ey seem stiffer than necessary.

Has anyone come up with an alternati= ve to the included springs?  I think someone mentioned removing the sp= rings altogether, but I'm concerned that this will allow them to flop aft, = especially on the copilot side.  Any ideas?  Anyone find a source= for weaker springs?

 Thanks,
