Saitek Pro Flight Rudder pedals; what do I do with them now?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, in a separate post I had previously expressed some negative opinions about the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder pedals I have, predominantly with respect to the rather flimsy, wobbly feel that have. 

Well, yesterday I was installing my center pedestal linking the dash to floor, with the (fake) CB panel on it, and was checking to make sure that there is enough clearance for legs and feet to get to the pedals. In doing so I actuated the pedals as you would normally do, and then *crack*.... and the right hand pedal went limp.

It seems that this was the toe brake return spring attachment breaking which is quite a common problem. As a result, I am going to have to open them up and fix the toe brake issue, and will have to do both sides otherwise I will just be doing it again in the coming months.

So now I am going to have to do something, and want to explore options on what I can do to improve them in any way that I can while I am at it. A couple of suggestions were raised on the thread where I originally questioned them, but want to canvass you guys as to what can be done to make them better.

I want to make them feel more solid, and realistic, so what can I do?

Cheers

Les
