isaacpr7 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 While conducting preflight today I noticed a missing inspection cover under my right wing (closest to wing root and rear). Does anyone have an extra one from an aircraft being parted out? Are all these plates the same size for different Mooneys? Call me 334-479-6220

N601RX Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 Look inside the wing and make sure it is not in there. There are at least 2 styles. One fits on the outside and just has holes in it and the other has a lip rolled into it with nut plates mounted on it.
isaacpr7 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 Mine is the one with the lip and mounted on the inside.
N601RX Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 I have some extra ones with the lip if you need one.
isaacpr7 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 My guess is that it was never installed back after last annual but I could have sworn I checked every plate after it left the shop. I guess I just never noticed it.
isaacpr7 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 N601RX, Thank you so much for the offer but I found one on ebay and the seller is sending me two for a few bucks. They do say that it is for an E and F model but the size and shape looked exactly the same.
isaacpr7 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Posted October 8, 2014 Received the cover plates I got from eBay but the size is twice of the one I am missing If anyone is looking for an E/F model plate, I have two.
isaacpr7 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 Guys you will not believe this. When I went to the hangar this morning to measure the hole, I stuck my hand in there like Mike suggested in the forum and the plate was there. I am surprised it never got sucked out in flight. 2
