Rob Logan has been kind enough to provide some of web site space for me to post some pictures of my Legacy project. Looking at the pictures posted by him and others has been a great help to me. The manual can be a little vague in places <G>. Even though I haven't completed very much I thought I would go ahead and try to reciprocate by posting what I have so far:

Here's a tip that might help if you haven't finished your rudder yet. The manual doesn't say to do this, but it seemed to make sense to me. While working on the rudder/ vert stab, you have to take the rudder off and put it back on about a million times. I discovered that I could use the 1/4 inch rods that I made for the elevators to temporarily attach the rudder too. I used a long 1/4 inch drill bit and a right angle drill attachment. Using the upper hinge bracket on the rudder as a guide, I drilled through the top of the rudder (I'll patch the hole before doing final paint prep). I drilled a similar hole in the bottom of the rudder leading edge close out (I'm going to leave that one as a drain hole for the rudder). Now, using those long hinge pin rods, I can install / de-install that thing in about 5 seconds. Saves a bunch of time.
