Brian and Hugh,
The original owner of my Allegro slightly damaged the fiberglass part of the
rudder also at a tail strike. The damage is mainly aesthetic but I like to
repair it.
Reason for me to ask Hugh to e-mail me also the portions of his assembly
manual that cover the rudder installation.
Brian, if possible, could you send me a photograph of the damaged section?
Thanks to both of you.

Brian
Removal of the rudder is simple
Disconnect the 2 rudder cables
Drill out the 4 rivets holding the small pin plate on the right hand side (the
pin itself is visible thru the center hole in the plate. All the flap / elevator
mounts use the same system. Checling all the pins are visible should be part
of the pre-flight)
Remove the cotter pin from the top mount pin
Mark and disconnect any electrical leads
release the bottom right angled pin by pulling upwards and remove thru the plate
hole
Reassembly takes a little patience lining up the pin. It is much easier if the
flat end of the pin is machined conical. You can't get your fingers inside with
enough force to push it thru the nylon bushing - use piers or grips.
Check the pin enters and is captive in the 'hat' on the inside of the pin plate
and is visible. Rivet the plate back.

Thanks Paul,
Seems that there are two rivets in the middle and 6-8 rivets around the out
side edge. So the all the outside edge rivets would need to be drilled out?

Hi Brian
>From memory, I thought it was 4 outside rivets holding the pin plate but it may
well be 6 as you said.
Correct. Don't drill the 2 rivets in the middle - they hold the 'hat' that retains
the pin in place.
The rudder skin is thin and fragile.
Before flying (and presumably part of normal pre-flight) check that
cottar pin on the small mounting pin at the extreme top of the rudder
cottar pins on each rudder cable
the bottom pin is visible just behind the tiny hole in the pin plate. This
indicates it is correctly positioned and captive.
