Stuck Pedals

Shawn Coyle:
I've been trying to remember (and failing ) the root cause. I was flying with an IP who was gracious and brave enough to let fledgling scout pilot make the decisions and then fly it to the ground. Great confidence builder!

I remember pushing pretty hard in-flight, then deciding we had a high confidence of of a successful outcome in the current state, but were unsure of the consequences of forcing pedal movement.

Pretty sure when it was on the ground, we tried to free the pedals unsuccessfully, put on ground-handling wheels, pulled it off the runway and went for a beer. Sorry I'm not much help. If the answer comes to me, I'll post it. I never heard of it happening again.
