FS2004 Tutorial: A Poor Man's Foot Pedals. This 16 page PDF document illustrates a step-by-step process for building a set of foot pedals. They have a smooth operating mechanism with near-zero friction. This allows precision input to simulator aircraft that results in increased control over rudder function, plus, the brakes can be applied using your feet. The construction steps are the ultimate in simplicity. Cost is about one-quarter the price of commercial pedals. The tools required are found in most households. Absolutely no electrical or electronic work is needed. Construction time from start to finish is only a few hours. By Glenn Copeland.
