bobatl Posted May 31, 2015 Share #26 Posted May 31, 2015 Bobatl, That is sweet!! Thanks for posting. Nice paint job on your Sikorsky pedal. Did you do it yourself? Have you done any research to see exactly what aircraft your pedal is from? Chris No idea what this S1540-61619-1C is for since I'm totally ignorant of Sikorsky part numbering system. It may have been new since the condition shows no wear. It was gray and I added the light blue close to what Pan Am used for trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatl Posted May 31, 2015 Share #27 Posted May 31, 2015 Rudder pedal for Cessna T-50/UC-78/AT-17 "Bamboo Bomber". I cleaned this up and painted it. Note the wear at the bottom where the pilot's foot would normally rest. Wood airplanes don't do well stored outside and the Cessnas were notorious for developing rotten wing rear spars. Most civilian ones wound up pushed into the local airport's junkyard corner with the wood rotting and steel tubing rusting. The rudder pedals are magnesium so if they weren't removed fairly soon, they would have eventually turned to powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hink441 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted June 1, 2015 Great looking Cessna pedal and a fine looking restoration job. My Convair pedal has been restored and has the same wear pattern on the pedal face. If you have some please share them with us!! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightpath Posted August 18, 2015 Share #29 Posted August 18, 2015 Years ago in Victoria, Australia I had a box of unfinished Bell Kiowa pedals. They were left over from the Australian Army Kiowa contract and still needed to be machined (pivot hole ect.). I sold them to the owner of a helicopter school who planned to mount them and give them to his graduates Nice collection mate!

hink441 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted December 18, 2015 Here is the latest addition to the rudder pedal collection. This one is a Nort American pedal for a P-51, B-25, or a T-6 Texan. Nicely re-furbed with a zinc-chromate paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hink441 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share #43 Posted March 19, 2016 This one is an early B-52 rudder pedal. Been trying to find one of these for awhile now. This one has some damage, but is still a nice pedal. This thing is huge!! Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_ Posted April 8, 2016 Share #45 Posted April 8, 2016 I'm new from the UK. Interesting topic. Pedals are a nicely identifiable part of a plane, especially with the company logo. I've got a few and am very much on the lookout for a 'Bell' torque pedal to match a 'Cobra' example I've just got. I'll resize some photos to post. Thanks for the add.

ian_ Posted April 8, 2016 Share #46 Posted April 8, 2016 Here is most of a rudder pedal from a Hawk 75. It was built for the French air force but France surrendered before it could be delivered. Diverted to the UK it was evaluated by the RAF. This came from an aircraft which was lost on a test flight. In British service they were called Mohawks.

ian_ Posted April 9, 2016 Share #48 Posted April 9, 2016 Here's my lonely Cobra torque pedal, it's to go with a pilot's and gunner's instrument set up I'm doing (which is how I found this forum, googling Cobra instrument panels). Some great pedals on here. Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
