Does placing your feet back on the pedals cause any movement in the
rudder, or is it more resistant to inadvertent movement than that?

No, There is some resistance in them to avoid this.

One thing I've noticed with the CH pedals that we bought for the Kiwi
(our flight sim) -- it's too easy to fly around with the toe brakes on.

Yes, that seems to be a problem with sim pedals. You can set the dead
zone higher on the brakes to avoid actually having them applied, but
you might still be pressing forward on the pedals.

Keyword, SIM. No replicated product will really work how they do in the
real thing.


So how do they work? You have to extend your foot (press the toes
forward) to apply the brakes, right? Which in turn implies that you
might have to deliberately hold the tip of your foot back in order to
avoid applying the brakes. I've always wondered about that


You push the top of the rudder in order to use the brakes. but they
have a nice bit of resistance in them so u can push your whole foot to
move the rudder/nose wheel without applying the brakes. so u do not
need to hold the top of your foot off the rudder to aviod useing the
brakes.
