Thanks! Can you tell me the height of the heel?

 

Mine are 3.5 inches or 88.9mm off the floor to the top of the heel stop. That's the stock setting right out of the box. I didn't need to alter the angle of the pedals at all.

Thanks! I think I'll be able to squeeze them under my desk, perhaps some playing with the angles will be required.

Got my email this week my pedals are on schedule for the December run. He is hoping to have all December orders delivered by Christmas, keeping fingers crossed! I know with the holiday shipping will be crazy, so I am not going to get my hopes up too high I have them by then , but at least they will be shipping out in Dec, woohoo!

 

Really looking forward to the new pedals.

I've just had my email also, living in the UK mine will be some of the last orders shipped before Christmas...ok with me I've been really impressed so far with the communication and ease of ordering. I'm not allowed mine until Christmas Day anyway, my better half is putting them under the tree until then!

Woohoo, just got my payment notice from Milan, and have Paypal'd the funds to him.

 

Getting close now!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Exciting times!

Just got my email announcing the pedals are shipping along with the tracking number, they should be leaving tomorrow.

 

Now just the waiting for the transit time, getting closer. Looking forward to trying these out.

I have been extremely impressed with how things have gone, Milan does an excellent job of communicating the progress.

Thanks! It seems ages since I ordered them, the missus is going to wrap the box up when it arrives for Christmas. I'll have to battle my 6 year old twins to get to the tree on Christmas morning! These will be my first pair of rudder pedals (I have X55 HOTAS) so I'm really looking forward to it.

Lol, man don't think I could stand for them being wrapped up first. I would not get hopes up too high though, hopefully we both get them before Christmas but holiday shipping is crazy and these are coming a long way.

 

Just hope the wife doesn't make you wait till New Year's if that is the case!

 

Great choice on your first set of pedals!

One thing nice about these Crosswinds I have had for some time (Ser# 0204). Once you get them set up to your liking, they just keep on doing their job without any attention to them what-so-ever. Oh, one might want to check them out for lube on the springs etc, but other than that, they just plain work just like rudder pedals are supposed to. Best investment in $$$ and time I ever made as relates to my sim addiction.

And don't forget to account for customs...took 4 days for me. I'm in NYC, and seeing that it was in JFK Customs was pure torture.. :)

Been following the tracking progress, in Paris customs now I assume about to be loaded on Santa's Sleigh for the journey overseas to get here to the states yay.

The anticipation, it keeps a building.

 

Edit: It is officially on the sleigh and departed.

Mine are now in customs in Miami, so at least they are in the states now.

Based on what I have read in this thread, I expect they will be in customs for a bit.

 

One step closer though!
