brettnicholls Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 My Rudder pedals are around 3 years old and my Right Toe Brake has failed. Cable fault. $220.00 NZ. Out of warranty so going to have to pull them apart to repair myself. Should have spent extra and gone for MFG Crosswinds. Let you know how I get on.

brettnicholls Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I repaired them by cutting the cable as closed to where they route internally, to give me as much to play with, and soldered on a new 3wire cable to bypass the damaged one. I had to drill a few holes in the rudder casing, one to zip tie the cable and 2 to route from under the foot pedal into the circuit board connector. Now it works as normal. I belong to the XPlane Facebook page and on there I put a couple of pics showing what I had done. I reset up using the Thrustmaster software and XPlane hardware config and back to happy flying. In the end it wasn’t that hard to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
