Narrative:

Aborted takeoff because of stuck rudder pedal. The left co-pilot's pedal got stuck behind a piece of trim on the forward center pedestal. Oddly, the taxi control check worked, but on takeoff, the pedal stuck and would not allow the rudder to move. The captain was in the left seat performing the takeoff, and as soon as we began the roll, he said he had no rudder movement and called the abort with full steering control using the tiller. We exited the runway safely, discovered the problem and corrected it by moving the rudder pedals on the co-pilot's side closer to the seat. There was no compromise of safety in the occurrence and the problem was addressed with maintenance at home to correct the problem.
