Some pedals have a tight fit and if not careful may miss the bellcrank arm. Everything usually passes the final static checks then when in a hover and performing a pedal turn that particular pedal folds over the bellcrank arm creating a bit of excitement. Final tid bit, when removing the duals ensure you install the airframe side dual control cannon plug receptacle caps. There are jumper wires in those caps that if not installed will cause several electrical systems to not work properly with the remaining control sticks. Good luck.
