I realized I’ve never flown a plane with rudder pedals hinged / pivoted at the top. Drifter, Cessna, Tailwind, etc. have all been hinged / pivoted at the bottom. Vans seems to have all theirs hanging down from the top as do others. From those who have flown both, anything better or worse for either scheme?
I couldn’t find much comparing the two schemes.
