This isnt a real interesting topic, but what kind of different rudder pedals are out there? There's ones you use the ball of your foot on, and have toe brakes, and theres ones you use your whole foot on and have toe brakes right? What are the different ways of attaching the pedals to the cables, and to each other?

I was wondering why some are whole foot pedals, and some are just toe pedals, so to speak.... wouldnt it work a lot better if you could put your whole leg into the rudder, instead of just your calf muscle?

"Toe pedals" ? I was thinking of the Cessnas...
