Aside from the enormity of the possible necessity of ripping out the
recently reinforced floor panels, the knock-on effects would seem to in
the way of moving the pedals outwards (literally !). As the pedal goes
outwards, the forward travel becomes restricted by the permanent
firewall. If you accept your knees coming back some more, the mid-pedal
position is no longer TDC. This means that a) total travel will be
lost,(is there enough left with the crank in line with the fuselage frame
?) and b) rudder action becomes differential, (rearward movement
occurring at a lesser rate than forward). Is that ergonomically
acceptable ? And for good measure, c) then the cables go slack (no
replacement swages or adjusters supplied). Ugh ! Perhaps the factory will
tell us what the unacceptable solutions they mention are, and why, one
might be yours or mine ! Replacement pedals would save all this, but
"cost to factory" and "builders time" have different dimensions.
