Found mine on Ebay, still some on the

As far as rudder pedals..."What Frank said." I don't need/use 'em.

ps-since Frank won't shamelessly plug his book, I'll do it for him...Check out his "Cross Country Soaring with Condor" book sold by Paul Remde at Cumulus Soaring. Wish I would have bought that sucker 6 months ago! Then again, if you like yelling at your computer monitor, save the 20 bucks and steady as she goes!
