My father had the pedals and cable replaced in his after some in flight excitement. After delivery the replacement pedals construction was shockingly amateurish and didn't match the dimensions of the original pedals. Rather that argue further and incur more delays and cost the improved "S" tube and bell flare was removed and transferred to the old pedals professionally by a shop. and thus a working non-chafing assembly was made with official parts. I can have him contact you if you would like more info. he does not frequent R.A.S.

There are new pilot testimonials, performance graphs, a great soaring

So stop by and see what the Red Star Aggressor Squadron has been up to.

I read somewhere that new redesigned rudder pedals for the AC4 are available for the cost of shipping. Any information about that?

Ha. Well the thread is yes. The most recent question for which I contributed a hopefully helpful answer is not. despite being over seventeen years old many AC-4s still are still flying are fine performers and his concern is relevant. If your objection is Paul's comment was off topic. Perhaps it was but it was already so before his comment. Were this a moderated forum we could lock the thread.
