Bill, et al: That is precisely the problem, in my opinion, with sliding rudder controls - they give you too much travel if you are the type of person that likes fairly solid bracing for feet and knees/thighs. Pivoting peddals give the best of both worlds, and the amount of travel needed for a *well designed rudder* is minimal.
