Quoting Phill Hill: "Hi guys, I'm working on my rudder pedals. The 5/8 x .035" tubing seems a bit "springy" to me. Did everyone else use this tubing for their rudder pedals or did you go up to .049?"
Sparky lost his first KR to having the tubing called for in the plans. A gust caught him when flaring here at KSEE and in recovering broke the rudder tubing which left him without rudder. He ended up clipping something stationary and breaking his left wing and pretty much messing the plane up beyond repair. So . . . don't skimp on the rudder tubing is the lesson here. My KR rudder pedals have no tubing, just cables running directly back to the rudder - just another of the nice design features that Ken Cottle had in mind when building N335KC.
