Re: Rudder w/Brake pedals
It does not have the “T”.

Re: Rudder w/Brake pedals
Best bet then is to fabricate the rudder pedals from the drawing. They very seldom come up for sale that I’ve seen.

That is a four foot radius not a four inch radius, correct? The drawing shows 1020 steel which may be hard to find.
Steve had a related post in the past about using a Harbor freight tubing bender https://www.harborfreight.com/tubing-roller-99736.html
Do you think that it could get the 4' radius in 4130 5/8" X .058" tubing?

Per drawing 11726, it is a 4” radius (8” diameter) not a 4’ radius. The radius is to the centerline of the tube. The material call out of the tube is 5/8X.058 wall SAE 1025 material. I haven’t found any 1025 tubing. 1020 is available as is 4130. For the purpose I think 1020 would be more than adequate, not much difference in the properties of 1020 and 1025. 4130 would be fine, but much harder to cold form. Doing the radius hot wouldn’t be a problem for any of the above alloys, just a little harder to tool up for it.

Re: Rudder w/Brake pedals
We made this Foker Tri-Plane rudder with this home made roller I use to form 3/8" Piper channel.
