About feet

Hello,

A shortish question...how do you all place your feet on the pedals? Heels on the floor or the entire foot on the pedal? just curious as I've heard people doing it both ways. Not counting the takeoff run of course...

C-152 - heels on floor because there isn't space for my size twelves otherwise.

PA28 Archer - feet fully on pedals because there is more space and it feels more in control.

Neither of these aircraft place too much demand on the rudder during normal flight....

Heels on the floor in the cruise and pedalling like a demented cyclist on the landing and roll-out

What a question!?

Well, I can honestly say I have no idea: and I was flying just a few hours ago!!! Note to self: notice next time flying where heels are!

Well, I was wondering as I've personally never felt comfortable with my heels anywhere else than on the floor (with the exception of when taxiing) but just today I realised some people claim the opposite.
