Mine would have been posted on the old website back around 2012. I have a file with every modification I posted back then if of any interest, Some would apply only to the old A series and some like my 6" tail wheel design have been supplanted by Sonex offering their own.

Hi David, forward those files to mailto://Admin@SonexFoundation.com and I'll add them to the site.

Thanks

Rick, I would not recommend putting the brake pedal portion of the rudder pedal forward of the standard lower cross tube of the rudder pedals. The pedals swing under the overhead mounted torque tubes, and the further forward you press a rudder pedal, the further back your foot must flex to avoid inadvertently operating the toe brake.
