Has anyone come up with a way to install toe brakes for the right seat? The manual says they may be installed as special equipment, but I’ve not seen any with them. The purpose would be for dual instruction.

I have an engineer/pilot friend who has a concept. If anyone has a set of brake pedals, I’d be interested.

I think I saw the same line in the manual. I'm sure it could be done, but it would be a pain to find the parts needed and a pain with the FAA unless you can come up with a drawing or something on how to do it. I'm sure such a drawing exists, but I' haven't seen it.

Anyway, back when I did my Tailwheel checkout in a Luscombe with brakes only on the LH side, my CFI started me out in the right seat. Once he was comfortable enough with me, he transitioned me over the left seat. Simple, easy, solution.
