Guys I have run into something that i have never seen on any of the tail draggersI have flown.
The gentleman that started the project I am working on has the front rudder pedals connected across the firewall area with a pulley system that I guess is ment to make the pedals work together. I have always had a spring on each pedal to return it to center, like the drawing calls for. Since I am working on the controls at this point just wondering if any of you have seen this type of set up and if so what are the advantages, disadvantages of the system. I am incline to remove the system and go with the return spring on each pedal but hate to rework another component he installed if it has a benefit.
