'Conventional' vs. 'anti-torque' rudder pedals?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So far as I can tell there might be a slight benefit to conventional (forward-aft) rudder pedals in that they have a larger travel so that precise inputs can be made with larger movements. In contrast vertically moving rudder pedals require smaller movements.

Is this true? Does anyone know if this makes a difference (e.g. for precision in hovering a helicopter)?

 

Other than that: It appears that conventional pedals can allow toe breaks, whereas 'anti-torque' pedals can be made lighter and more compact without needing to be attached to anything (and can be used more easily on a swivel chair).

 

P.S. I'm looking at VPC WarBRD Rudder Pedals vs. VKB-Sim T-Rudder Pedals Mk.V - so if anyone has comments on those two, I'd be happy for any advice.

The AH-64 actually has toe brakes so that axis is useful.

Very useful actually. And you can mimick the micro switches in the Hind.
