Be proud John, you've put together a real quality build and I, like many others have followed what you've done with great interest. You will get used to the rudder pedal and toe brake setup. I had exactly the same problem when I started tailwheel training in a Eurofox. Kept hitting the brakes. As Bruce said, toes on the pedals, heels on the floor. Once you get used to it, you'll be tap dancing like a pro !!. Go well, fly safe and congratulations.
