I have my pedals woot!!
Posted this in my Squadron forum


Have set them up now.

I'm blown away by them. I really am.

I thought my Simpeds were good. These are so much better.
The pedal stop is where the input stops, no dead zone at the end of the pedal travel here. 100% of the pedal travel is 100% of the input...bang on!
Pedals are nice and weighty at about 6 kilos, that adds to the solid feel of them. Movement is smooth as silk, no play at all in any axis.

Taking some photos and settling down to do some serious testing now.
I'll post more at the weekend.

I can only add at the moment that they are worth every single penny. Blown my old Simpeds out of the water.
Get yourselves on the waiting list these are fecking good.

Yes, but can I mount the pedals more to the inside to make them narrower or do you mean they are narrower during movement (which would be somewhat obvious due to the design) ?

-axes – 3.
-18+4 ball-bearings.
- possibility of regulation of distance between platforms of pedals – 350 mm. 380 mm. and 410 mm.
- a working course – 160 mm. 175 mm. and 190 mm. respectively.
-a working angle of the wheel brake – 27 degrees
-possibility of regulation of slope angle of a site of a pedal – 30, 37, 44 and 50 degrees.
- length of a site of a pedal – 270, 280 and 290 mm.
-a material – steel, aluminum.
- electronic includes digital and analog sensors based on the effect of magnetic resistance.
-overall dimensions – 460x260x220 mm.
- mass – 6000 grams.

I can confirm that there are 3 positions for the width of the pedals. I have mine mounted on the inner mounts and even that gives a comfortably wide foot placement. I'm going to look at setting the peal angle as my seat is quite low to the floor and I'd like the angle t be a little steeper.

Hi Brigstock.
You have a 3 mounting position. By default, it was 30 degrees.
You can also set

Yeah i know.

I have placed them in my pit using default settings.
After a little use the width is fine but I need to use the adjustment features of the pedals to make the slope of the pedals steeper.

Hoi Brigstock.
How is the center feel and how stiff are the springs?
(I'm coming from CH pedals here. Nice pedals but crappy centering and limp springs.)

Hi Freddy

I posted a review in the controller forum. But a quick answer for you. Centre is solid and spring tension adjustable I have it on the weakest setting and it is comparable to my old CH and Simpeds, Except it can be adjusted

I wish I would have known about these when I was in Warsaw over the spring. It would have been nice to go look at them. Of course my plate was a little bit full, and not just with pierogi.

I'm going back in 2015, might have to see if I can stuff one of those in my carryon. You gonna give a fly to Poland discount?

@Slaw
AUTOCALIBRATION! cheers for that..

@Brigstock
Good to know that you can go beyond the CH pedals spring tension which is definitely on the weak side for me.
Thanks for the review, nice to see some pictures from your simpit. Clean setup BTW. Very classy. Did you build the side console yourself?

Freddy, yep the console is a home made effort. Uses 2 Saitek quadrants, a Saitek trim wheel and a switch panel working off a Bodnar board. Looks better in the photos than it is in real life. But it does what it is supposed to do. I don't need to touch the keyboard once in flight.

A quick test in the workshop.
Sorry for the bad quality.

Looking forward to getting my set at the end of February, Slaw.

@Flying_Colander....you won't regret buying these pedals

OK, money in hand. How do I get on "the list"?

I think the next batch will be ready in March (maybe at the end of February). At this party already have buyers. I think that by the end of March (early April) I'll have the next batch. Then I will tell you. I just do not want to make promises - it's just a hobby. I do not know how much free time I'll have.
Regards.

I can wait for quality work like this. I'm using Saitek combat pro pedals at the moment, and while the precision has been sorely lacking in BoS it'll work well enough till your vastly superior alternative is ready.

Just let me know when to send you money and how much!

really like your pedal design and materials…
I do have some questions:

1. What is on the bottom of the rudder pedals? I have wood floors and Im concerned with them sliding or scratching the floor.
2. I assume that these have independent toe breaks because of the 3 axes and springs I see on the pedals. Are they also hall effect devices?
3. What are the dimensions fore and aft when the pedals are fully depressed? It looks to have a long throw, which Im concerned about.
4. Are you considering a shorter throw design for those of use up against a wall under our desks?
5. Are you considering pedal designs for other aircraft, such as F16 or Spitfire?

Thanks

Hi AV8R
1.The rubber parts. They are very good keeping the pedals, and do not scratching the floor.
2.Pedali have 3 axis. But not a Hall sensors, they are better (Rotary Angle Magnet Sensor)

3.
4.Can be pedals f 16
5. See item 4

PS In the drawing, a spring not shown.
