This is what my E has and those panels are pretty much a joke, as is access to anything behind the panel. You also have to seal the access panels each time you remove them. That said, it just adds a bit of work to anything done in that area, but the speed and appearance benefits are worth it (IMO).

After all that quarantine, he needed a haircut....

<sigh>

Can't you just call up SkyVector on a TV and get the same thing? For wherever you want. Just use one of these.

This one has been thru many an IFR cert...what was that shops name? Don't want to go there.

'nough said.

Goes to mission (doesn't it always?). That said, there are enough parts lying around to sustain the vintage fleet for decades.

Just totally freaked out by this. It could have ended very, very badly. Kudos for bringing her down (relatively) unscathed and good luck in getting her back in the air.

Your CFI/I probably pulled a hose

I was doing some IFR training a few years ago with a CFI/I who was not familiar with Mooneys. He had me doing all sorts of (VFR) maneuvers and then commented "You have incredible rudder skills!". Yeah, me and my PC, I rarely touch the rudder pedals

O...M...G! Thank you, I am feeling soooo much better now.

Welcome to the money pit! Oops, I meant to say Mooney cockpit.

It may also be called a "plug wrench". The plug (or bung for that matter) is basically a threaded disk that seals a hole in a container. The disk has holes in it that the wrench engages with its teeth, so basically you have a flat profile when the container (a wing tank) is sealed.

OK, it's a bung wrench. My guess now is that a fuel tank plug in the wing was a bung nut.

Certainly a workable theory for the handle part, but the wrench itself is what I am wanting an ID on. Interesting theory, but I am fairly sure there was not a sailplane in the history of the hangar. It is absolutely a wrench of the kind not unlike the spanners used to remove the backs of high-end watches (Breitling, Rolex, etc.), but this one has 10 teeth.

It is a wrench of some sort, like you, I think I have seen one before, but I can't remember either. THAT'S what's bothering me. Is it for something critical on the property, or was it for one of his airplanes. He had a Piper at one point and then later a Cessna. Keep in mind that this guy loved electricians tape--he wrapped every handle he touched with it. Also, his oldest boy was into cars, found a lot of car stuff, so this could be automotive. They also had a boat, so it could be marine. Let's face it, a hangar is just a huge garage for an airplane, but that does not mean that the other toys can't coexist with it

OK, so there's a different hangar thread about what you need in a hangar, this is for what you find in them. My 'new' (to me) hangar was full of god-knows-what because the PO died three years before his widow sold the house. After her (grown) kids took what they wanted, and none of them were aviators, she left the rest. I have scored a lot of good 'junk' not to mention enough rivets to build an airplane, clecos too! Occasionally as I work through everything I stumble on things that I have no idea what they are. Keep in mind that this includes stuff not only from aviation. OK, anybody know what this is?

That's OK, I get email notifications on any threads I create. A very nice feature of MS.

You need to call LASAR. I think they get a want list and then make a batch.

Yep.

What's your message? You know, I am not on here 24/7.

LOL...I thought you were going to say that after the stuff climbed up the bolt, the rusted nut spun off on it's own

OK, THAT is some serious pain.

Following the President's advice, I am downing disinfectant daily. Cask strength is murder on COVID.

What's the penalty for having a GU? Apparently the insurance companies aren't putting enough pain into it, or the pilots are departing GA afterwards.
