ARE RUDDER PEDALS FOR ME?

[andersel]

I am a left leg, below the knee, amputee (long time ago, long boring story) and I wear a prosthesis (a good one, but not ultra high-tech). I just want some input about using rudder peddles with this thing attached to my leg. I’ve been getting along with the auto rudder checked in FS9 (my preferred sim poison for now), but lately I’m flying mostly tail draggers and find that I want the real thing. Anybody out there have any experience with this? If it’s a do-able thing I need to start budgeting for (at least what I consider to be) a major purchase. Thanks all! LA

Well, I do not have the same situation as you. However, I can say " Go for the pedals". They have a heel rest to keep your "foot" from sliding off. And if you can move your thigh up and down, your good to go. You press down on one pedal or the other. No lifting. I've been sitting here trying to simulate your situation, and that's my suggestion. Pedals are awesome!
