Is it true it doesn't have rudder pedals? Why?

Ercoupers FAQ
The Ercoupe is notable in that the design of it was an attempt at making a much safer airplane. Fred wanted to try, through good design, to remove many of the elements that were causing crashes in airplanes. Most notable about the Ercoupe is that the original was designed to be incapable of spinning. The reasons for that are because the leading causes of accidents were spins. Spins are impossible if you can't stall the wings. Fred wanted to cut down on the plane's ability to bite its owner.

Can I use the pedals to simulate gas or rudder pedals?

STEP ON IT! Pedals: FAQ
No. STEP-ON-IT! Keyboard Control Pedals are digital. They toggle "on" or "off". Thus they can take over frequently used keystrokes for "decisive" ON- OFF functions such as: launching missiles, opening doors, switching weapons, adjusting shields, changing the screen views, etc. Digital controls are not used for emulating "variable" functions such as the gas pedal of a racing car. This can only be done by analog (linear) systems.

And how about pedals?

FAQ's
Again, there are two types, some games used a pot-based design which allowed the pedal to be partially depressed. Other games used a microswitch so the pedal was either up or fully depressed. And some games used a pot for the gas pedal and a switch for the brake/clutch. In this case, I recommend using a pot based pedal, as a pot will act like a closed switch when fully depressed, so again, this solution will work for either type of game.

Music Schools - Frequently Asked Questions
Usually, with two pedals, the left one is the Soft pedal. On a baby grand, the soft pedal actually shifts the entire "action" mechanism slightly to one side causing the hammers to only strike two of the three strings which makes the sound softer. On a vertical (upright) piano, the left pedal moves the action closer to the strings. Because they can't travel as far, they don't hit the strings as hard, again making the sound softer.

Do Visual Sound pedals have "true-bypass"?

Visual Sound - F.A.Q.
First, the switches required for "true-bypass" are far more expensive than ours and are less reliable in the long run. This would make our pedals in the $200+ range (list price) and they wouldn't last as long. Our unique electro-mechanical switching system with heavy-duty switches and a "switch chip" should last a good long time. Secondly, the buffering system in the pedals was taken from our Pure Tone pedal.

What do the pedals do and how do they work?

The Piano Education Page - Piano Frequently Asked Questions ...
The left (soft) pedal works differently on grands and uprights. On an upright or 'vertical' piano--this includes spinets, consoles, studio uprights and large uprights--the soft pedal operates a bar inside that pushes all the hammers closer to the strings, which makes it easier to play softer. You can watch this by opening the top of the piano and looking down inside while you work the pedal.

Do I need a rudder?

Frequent Questions - Journal on open sea and coastal kayak p...
You might need a rudder to go straight, or the boat might need a rudder to go straight, or you might just want a rudder so you don’t have to worry about steering. Look for a design that is durable, easily stowed, and which has a footbrace design you can live with. Like rigging, this is something you can modify if you are willing to do the work. An alternative to a rudder is a skeg, either permanent or retractable, which is basically a fixed rudder.

What is a balanced rudder? Is the Hydrovane rudder a spade rudder?

Servo Pendulum Self Steering - Hydrovane Selfsteering
First to clarify ? it is not really a 'balanced rudder' but a 'semi balanced rudder'. The balancing is a matter of the position of the rudder shaft in the rudder ? its pivot point. By positioning the rudder shaft at different locations further and further back from the front of the rudder it becomes easier and easier to turn ? until a certain point when it becomes indifferent to its direction - hence out of control.

I've heard that it doesn't matter how fat you are as long as you're fit-is this true?

Frequently Asked Questions
Research has shown that a group of fat men who were fit were more likely to outlive thin men who were out of shape. So being thin is no substitute for being fit. Fat is a threat if it is located in your belly. If you also have other risk factors for disease like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, then its time to lose a few pounds in addition to getting fit.

No. The part of marijuana that gets you high is called 'Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.' Most people just call this THC, but this is confusing: your body will change Delta-9-THC into more inert molecules known as 'metabolites,' which don't get you high. Unfortunately, these chemicals also have the word 'tetrahydrocannabinol' in them and they are also called THC -- so many people think that the metabolites get you high.
