VASHON AIRCRAFT RANGER R7 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
RUDDER PEDAL AND LINKAGE
GENERAL
The rudder pedals operate a series of cables to move the rudders. They also serve as the brake
controls, which are hydraulically actuated. When rotated, the pedal pushes on a master cylinder
located on each pedal. The rudder pedals are constructed from welded steel tubing and are
fastened to the linkages. The pedal position can be adjusted forward and aft through removing a
pin on the track rail and sliding it to the proper position.
