: Has anyone tried making their own adjustable foot braces? I don't like the
: idea of having foot braces fixed in one place and I am having trouble
: finding any adjustable ones to buy where I live. I found a site that sells
: plans for footbraces (see link below) which I have also seen in a book.
: Has anyone tried building these or come up with their own design?

I BUILT SOME FOR A PYGMY-OSPREY FROM COMMERCIAL DUTY, ADJUSTABLE SHELVING TRACK AND THE SHELF BRACKET THAT COMES WITH IT. BOLTED THE TRACK THROUGH THE HULL, CUT THE BRACKET PART TO ABOUT 5" IN LENGTH THEN USED INCH AND HALF DOWLING FOR THE FOOT-PEG PART. CUT A SLOT LENGTH WISE IN THE DOWL SO IT WOULD FIT OVER THE METAL SHELF BRACKET PART AND EPOXIED IT ON TO IT. I CAN ADJUST THE FOOT PEG BACK AND FORTH ALONG THE TRACK (as you would adjust a shelf bracket up or down ) AND IN FOUR YEARS OF USE IT WORKS FINE. ONLY DRAWBACK IS THAT IF YOU SLIDE YOUR FEET PAST THE FOOT PEG UPON ENTERING THE COCKPIT AND THEN KICK THE FOOT PEG AS YOU DRAW THEM BACK PAST IT, YOU CAN KNOCK THE BRACKET OUT OF IT'S SLOTS IN THE TRACK. IT THEN TAKES A BIT OF CONTORTING TO GET IT BACK INTO THE SLOTS. GOOD LUCK.
