Rudder pedals?
Gents,
Here are a kind of rudder pedals. There is no toe brake control so only rudder control. Width : 50 cm dimension of pedal : 23/13 cm Neither marking nor stamp, only on the cast, back of pedal : B203347 1 / B203347 11. Looks like US. For a glider, turret or even a link trainer...??? Thanks beforehand of your attention. ClinA-78 |

Re: Rudder pedals?
Hello
, Do you have any context informations (where and when was the part found...)? The linkage seems "heavy duty", and is unusual for an airplane. I explored the helicopters trail, such a strong system could have been used for a dual rotor craft, but neither the Chinook nor the 50's Piasecki are matching. Regards Jean Schreiber |

It also appears that there isn't any type of "brake" function for these pedals.

Re: Rudder pedals?
Hello,
Alas, NO info's about origin, etc. Indeed, it looks sturdy. There is some trace of metal melt (crash?) and a rough strut was added. Allez, another picture to help... |

Re: Rudder pedals?
Hello
Since they are no braking functions present, the part can also come from a big seaplane. No match with Short (Sunderland) nor Grumman (Albatross) but a possible with Blohm und Voss (BV 138 ?). Would be my best guess... Regards Jean Schreiber |

Re: Rudder pedals?
Thank you Jean for your relentless search but the part seems US made, see the figures on the alloy cast pedal.
No other stamp/marking. Indeed a puzzling item... Best research. ClinA-78 |

Re: Rudder pedals?
Hello Clint
To narrow the nationality of the assembly, it is possible to make precise mesurements , (with a sliding caliper) of the bolt heads and nuts, ideally with paint removed ? Metric, Imperial and US (who are not the same as the Imperial) bolt heads differ slightly (some tenths of a millimeter) for the usual 6 and 8 mm bolts and their equivalents. Regards Jean |
