Rudder pedals wanted

Hi all,

I have attached a picture of the rudder pedals of a Heinkel 51. It would be fantastic if we could get an original set of these but I guess it is also very unlikely.
Any other pair of rudder pedals would do, maybe from another Luftwaffe biplane or a set that could be converted to fit. They would need to built for oil-pressure brakes though. Should someone have a set please drop me a line. Thanks

Peter

With enough info you should be able to reverse engineer it. Probably as easy as trying to modify an exsiting rudder bar.
Here is an SE5 one we have just made, although we did have drawings for that.

Why not make from scratch??

Could you? I guess it could be done and if so it would be pretty authentic. Here’s an exploded view.
