Mooney Space, Please forgive me… new pilot, new Mooney owner, and new to the group! Took my wife to see our new (to us) 1967 Mooney. I was playing with the battery tender on the other side of the plane when the flaps jolted. I looked up to see my wife (130lbs) was on the wing to sit in the plane. She accidentally stepped on the flap. She thought the “no step” meant that exact spot. I can’t get mad at her because she is brand new to aviation. So go easy on her. Looks like she may not have been the first either. There are a few scratches on that part of the flap and maybe a slight (very slight) depression. Might be my OCD or just the extreme caution being new to everything, but should I be worried or check anything specially? FYI: I tested the hydraulic flaps and they still worked in the hangar. Thanks!!

So the time is approaching to completely refit our M20J's exterior and do a full repaint. As we have posted on here, the first trip we took with it resulted in hail damage on the elevators and ailerons. Plus the paint is a few years old and needs refreshing. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to put a bunch of LASAR drag mods on the machine, stick in a new windshield, and lay on a fresh coat of paint. I am soliciting ideas and experiences that have dealt with the following LASAR mods: horizontal tail fairing, dorsal fin with seal, wheel well liners, cabin door pin kit, wing root fairing, and aileron gap seals. Also looking for advice on changing out the old windshield for a new one, ours has light crazing.
