I had my first attempt at installing the rudder pedals tonight, I say attempt because I had to take them back off, it seems when I install them as per plans there is just too much friction and they don't move the way they're supposed to, I did grease the phenolic blocks well with lithium grease but the fit is just too tight. I did some research and came across this post on the sonexbuilders forum: http://www.sonexbuilders.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=347 It seems that you need to remove the powder coating where the phenolic blocks go as John Monett explains in this EAA video: http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=61439759001
