Rudder pedal work: 5 hours

I got my replacement rudder pedal bearing block drilled with good results.

After that I measured and drilled the longerons for mounting the rudder pedal bars in three possible positions aft of the firewall (3",4",5"). These positions roughly correspond to short, medium and tall inseams.

I also worked on the rudder pedal support which needed to be drilled for the three mounting positions and also drilled for riveting to the firewall.
