    I guess what I'm trying to say is, the camlocks have retainer washers on the inside of the cowl so they don't fall out. If I can't fully remove them it's a total pain to remove the top cowl. Twice I've had work done and the mechanics put the retainer washers on them and I wanted to scratch my eyes out.

    Do all your fasteners on the top cowl have retainer washers on them? I find it impossible to remove it unless the three in the pic can be removed. Am I doing it wrong?

    That’s what I was hoping for. Not afraid of an IPC check but had something already lined up and CFII’s are getting hard to find that work weekends that aren’t slammed.

    Okay, I must be brain dead. My last IPC check was July 18th 2019. Plane was down for 3 months between annual and new paint job, so not much flying period. Not one approach. Do I need an IPC check or can I go out with a safety pilot and get it done?

    I had an instructor today in no uncertain terms tell me " The six month grace period no longer exists" If you are no longer current due to going passed your six months, you must have an IPC check, period!

    If memory serves me correct, In the past if you didn't meet the recency, you could not file or fly IFR but you could meet recency if in the next six months you got it done. No IPC required.

    Good question!

    The new § 61.57(d) reads:

    So am I late to the dance? Apparently they did away with the additional 6 months to complete recency experience for IFR, hence needing an IPC check after 6 months?

    When people ask me what kind of plane is a Mooney, I describe it as a Porsche with wings! I love Mooney’s and Porsche’s.

    Yikes! Are they sending you pics of its progress? I asked for pics at various stages so I could be sure we were on the same page. I was always surprised when I got them and was like “ Holy crap, it’s actually getting done!”

    Thanks! Roughly 7 weeks.

    Before and after pics.

    What’s the best way to remove the heat discoloring from your exhaust pipe? Is it even possible?
  15. Joe Larussa
    Thanks! It took roughly 6 weeks.
  16. Joe Larussa
    Haha! Yep!

    Honestly I was looking for ideas on Google and found a plane back east I loved. Also a pic from one of our Mooneyspace guys. I combined both ideas and gave pics to the paint shop. He got it pretty darn close. I wanted the gear white because I thought it would be a good contrast with the red gear doors.

    Sweet!!

    Somehow it ended up the last pic but here it is again. I had it done at Corona Aircraft Painting. Cost was about 14,000.

    Just brought my baby back home. Here’s a few pics.

    We had done that and I swear they were tight when we finished the annual three flights prior. Not sure where they ended up but didn’t do any damage when they came off.
  23. Joe Larussa
    Here’s a pic. I guess it’s a little cupped.
  24. Joe Larussa
    Pretty much flat I guess. Made of some kind of polished metal with three holes.

    Anybody have a hubcap for a main on a 77 M20J ? Mine departed the airplane.
