[Paddlewise] Rudder Pedal travel

Hello List,

Ralph Diaz, Alex Ferguson and, perhaps, others have recently discussed
alternatives to the common "sliding" rudder pedal set-up.  I am interested
in learning more about alternate pedal installation designs (ie, ala
aircraft rudder pedals) and I have a question.  Do the designs that have
you pivoting the pedal give you enough travel to let the rudder hit the
stops on each direction?  It would seem to me that the sliding design gives
a lot of travel and that with the pivoting design, you might need to have
some actuation amplification.  Is this true?
