: Foot-brace mock-up in mock-up of Mystery Cockpit, with Guzzler foot
: pump.
: Note markings for rudder peddles to be cut out and hinged.
: 'Hinge' marked on lower center will operate a 3" wide lever to
: pump actuator. It's not needed, but makes pumping easier and
: quicker.
: Bottom center is the intake manifold.

: Angle of Foot-Brace is 28 degrees.
: Blue anodized rail is 3/4 x 3/8 inches, Rockler woodworking channel
: for router table guides.
: Tape measure is for scale.

: This is older version, where I intended to use threaded 3/4"
: PVC fittings to connect to intake manifold.
: New version allows for non-rotated pump installation, flexible hose
: to intake manifold.

Hi Will,

After looking at that mock up and thinking about it, might want to temporarily hinge those pedals and see if you have enough movement to actuate the rudder. Don't need alot of movement, but you do need some and your toes/feet only bend so much. Mine I think are hinged lower, I'll go measure. The hinged portion is roughly 7" above the base where you heels rest on mine.
