Rudder pedal and Brake work
- (1 hour)
Category: Controls
Removed toe strap and associated mounting from RH rudder pedal. Much simpler now, having learnt how the pieces were assembled with the LH pedal. Sandblasted both pedals to remove any loose paint/grime. Painted pedals to prep for reassembly.
Pedals after sandblasting, prior to painting.
