I purchased the rear rudder pedal option, but I’m not sure I want to bother with them. Looks like a hokey setup to me, and I’m not sure they’re worth the time and effort. Some threads on other sites seem to support that conclusion. Am I missing something?

Stan,
I never installed mine. They will only be in your way in the front seat. When I am flying by myself the foot wells make nice storage compartments for wallets, cases, etc.
Regards

I put mine in just for some training to my wife. They are relative easy to remove when done and easy to install..

I agree they are easy to remove once the bracket is installed during your build. The only time they might get in the way is if you have someone with big boots on in the back seat. You have to make sure you trian that person to keep their feet (toes) out against the fuselage skins during take off and landing. You can still us the foot wells for storage when flying by yourself.

I bought them and installed the brackets, but will probably not install the "pedals." I am thinking of fabbing a control stick lock that would attach to them. Still a fuzzy thought way back on the back burner, though. (Note: I'm not flying yet, so that's the main focus.)

I installed because they were required for my formation flight training. Easy to remove.
