Jeffrey W. Skiba asks:

"Does anyone have pictures of the Legacy rudder in
Netural position
full right
full left..."


Jeff, here are some pics of what I came up with on my Legacy. My goal was 
minimum sized holes that were just large enough to allow 
removal/installation of the rudder with standard tools that any A&P should 
have. I also wanted to be able to see the torque seal paint marks on the 
heads of all hinge base attach bolts during preflight.

With the rudder full left I have about a 1/2 inch by 2 inch slot opening. 
That amount of space allows one "click" of movement on an unmodified 
ratcheting box end wrench. Inserting the bolt and tighten the nut is fairly 
easy but it does take quite a long time. With the rudder in the neutral 
position all cutouts are hidden except for part of the top one and a small 
notch on the lower right side that was necessary for push tube clearance.

Please note on the pics that the 3 green lines drawn lengthwise on the 
rudder leading edge represent the location of the VS trailing edge at full 
left, full right and neutral positions.
