OK, during straight and level flight we need to press right rudder. Or we can bend over trim tab to match our normal cruise power setting, so we don't have to hold it.
To match this situation we really should make our right leg a little longer and left leg a little shorter.
Or more complicated way is to adjust cables so in level flight your pedals will be in line with each other. Is it Ok to do so?
On the way back from Oshkosh last summer I really didn't know what to do with my left foot, was running out of room. But right foot was very comfortable with all kinds of room available. Really thinking of changing that for more comfortable long-distance flights.
Wondering if big distance between pedals (2-3inches) is direct result of too small vertical tail volume for 100 HP engine vs 50 HP originally?
