My buddy and I did an oil change on the airplane last weekend. A royal pain, we wound up having to pound a wood chisel into the oil filter to get enough oomph on it to get it turning, but we got it off, got the new one on, safety wired and everything. We went to put the cowlings back on the nose and made the most unpleasant discovery. The screws aren't all the same the way there were on the Cherokee. Every screw doesn't fit every hole, not by a long shot. Well, we worked with it and by the end we had every hole filled with a screw but three that didn't fit our remaining screws. We were both tired and frustrated, so I figured I could play musical screws with the airplane another day. They all came off, they should all go back on. We put the remaining screws in a baggie on the hangar shelves. Where I couldn't find them today for the life of me. They're Criminy, do I feel like a boob.
