PhoenixRising Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I am looking to remove the center detent on my CH Pro Pedals. I have seen some people add stronger return to center springs. That got me thinking, I mostly fly helicopters. In flight, will the anti-torque pedals return to center like a aircraft with a traditional rudder, or if you take your feet off, do they tend to stay in the same place. Thanks!

Ranma13 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 They'll stay in the last trimmed position. Here's a video of someone who built a force trim system for helicopter anti-torque pedals: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick8 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I removed the center detent and re-greased the whole thing with the blue marine grease. I also made a lighter return spring from a spring I got from Ace Hardware. It centers well but has less tension when off center. Works well with helicopters and the A-10c.

BlacleyCole Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Great ideal . Can you draw up an assembly guide and parts list so I may mos mine I guess with the dampners you don’t need spring for any ac if you recenter them yourself BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.
