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?
Here's a pirep
from Beech expert Bob Moseley "Mose" (RIP):
"I sent a pair to Buddy Miller @ TrimAire in Mexia TX last year and he did an
excellent job, three color paint to match, was around $1200. Buddy is an old
friend and has done this stuff since Columbus landed."
