Jetmech, I had a Bonanza for just over ten years. I remember moving the tow bar to the left would raise the left ruddervator, but it seems like it only came up to, or just above neutral. The yoke was a rest in a full forward position. The right, as I recall, would deflect a little bit further down. ( Its been a long time, my memory is a bit fuzzy!) Most of the time I checked the rudder during flight control checks with the yoke forward, hands off, not in the elevator neutral position. This was to let the yoke move and check the aileron interconnect. I always assumed the ruddervators moved in equal, and opposite directions if the control yoke was in an elevator neutral position. I seem to remember full up elevator, and full left rudder input would lower the right ruddervator, and the left would stay full up. There was a totaly cool system of cables, springs and levers to mix this all together. In flight it control input worked just like any other "normal" aircraft. Maybe this answers your question. Hope so.
