Real life helicopter pedal behavior


Recommended Posts

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!

Stronger springs will not help much helicopter flight, on contrary, you will fighting springs all time.

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.

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
