Hi,
Is the Europa supposed to have springs on the rudder pedals? Mine don't – they flop around. Doesn't cause a problem for the most part, but it can cause it to flap around in the wind, which can't do it any good.
Regards,
-Carl.

The rudder system should have a spring at the forward end of each cable (see CBM 22- . As standard they are not very strong and most owners add some sort of additional stop (strap) for when the aircraft is parked.

There is supposed to be two springs at the end of the tunnel, right next to the engine mount on each side of the tunnel, they connect to the
Arm the cable is attached to and connect to bolts at the end of the side of the foot well pulling forward to tension the cables.

Hi! Carl,
Yes springs are light but centralising to neutral mounted to levers which make up part of the pedal pivot drive shafts in front of the central firewall. See figure 1 of General Arrangement of Rudder Pedals Sketch page 29-9 issue 1.
Of course as one is pushed it returns the other being both attached to cables at the rudder end.
Regards

Thanks Bob,
Mine work perfectly in flight, but flop about when your feet are not on them. Definitely no springs what so ever.
Thanks,
-Carl.
