In Response To: Strip: Rudders, peddles, seats (Will N to Go)

: What rudders are highly recommended these days? I'm building a
: Mystery, and I'm a rudder-user.

: I like the One Oceans carbon fiber rudder, but don't want to spend
: a week making it.
: What about the Prijon? Seems like an elegant design-too small?
: Thoughts?
: Anyone use an OnoPaddles rudder? They're carbon fiber and nice
: looking.
: Anyone use enough different types to say it doesn't matter which
: rudder you use?

: Minicell foam seats seem OK, anyone have a rotating seat? My
: minicell foam/gel pad seems to pivot as much as I need.

: Foot pegs--what primitive devices! I guess the guys who design them
: don't do three hour paddles.
: I plan to build flat foot pads with hinges for rudder at the top
: and another hinged 'paddle' in the middle for my Guzzler
: pump-which will also ride along the rails.
: Adjustment will be a couple of 3/4" table saw type channels.
: Any thoughts?

: Thanks,
: Will

Hi Will,
I used the Smart Track Racing Rudder on my Nordic Arrow. I made my own mounting bracket using Carbon Fiber and I also made my own gas pedal style foot board from Carbon.
Very light weight system and it works great. I'm not sure how to post multiple pics in one message, so I will send multiple messages.
