RV-14 for "Tall People" issue

Hellloooooooo!
Testing
All,

There is an couple notable observations surfacing with the pedal control bar if you have it in the most forward position. The forward bar's master cylinder attach tab will hit the aft bar (or the Beringer master cylinder eye-bolts if you are using them like me) before the rudder hits its stops.

You will either need to move the control bar aft a notch or fabricate longer cable linkage pieces. Note that linkage is STEEL and NOT aluminum. Not an engineer, but I don't think an aluminum replacement part here would be wise.

Emarit had a handful of steel linkages made with two additional holes, he's out of them now, but this is a good read:

(Thanks Emarit!)
