A small, simple cover has solved my leak problem. I had to make it, but it
seems to do the job. There's a 2"x3" hole under the leading edge of the
rudder, and it is essentally open to the sky. Covering it (with a suitable
"REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" streamer) has stoped the constnt leaks in the back
(the stringers were transporting the water into the baggage compartment).
There is a small seep in the cabin, but its clear that's from the wing root
fairing. A little proseal should take care of it easily.
Do other planes besides the 520 have that hole under the rudder? It is
apparently for the trim teleflex, and according to the parts manual seems to
have just been left open......No rubber seal or anything.
Happy to share the design of the cover.
