peddle, along with the 
master cylinder fell off on the floor.

This is how Sparky lost his original KR.  He was flaring here at SEE, got
caught with a gust/whirlwind and when he stomped on the rudder while
recovering it broke leaving him helpless.  There's more to that story but
the plane wound up in a ball.  As so often happens, the plane absorbed
all the stress and Sparky came out unscathed but the 800+ hour KR-2 was
destroyed.  He and Murry built that KR and built it very light.  Sparky
thought they had used extra-thin aluminum but from what I'm learning with
this incident of Larry's it appears that's what was in the plans.
