Because Owning And Flying Your Beechcraft Can Be Done Safely AND For Less Money!
  Step by Step V-Tail Ruddervator Replacement

 

How are your Ruddervator Bearings doing? I'm no V-tail owner but from what I've heard and read the bearings in your ruddervators have some critical slop tolerances.

 

 

So if your Ruddervator bearings are tired, you and your IA/A&P might appreciate this step by step Power Point presentation on changing them out. IMHO, this presentation is an excellent How-To guide for this project.


Big Tip Follows: These same bearings are reported to be the same for the straight tail Bonanzas.

 

 

Big thanks to Beech Listers John F. who is the star of the show in the replacement pictures and to Tom H. who had the file and sent it to me!

Need your magnesium ruddervators refinished?
