flyboy0681 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Yesterday I noticed that the right side gap filler between the empennage and fuselage was missing and have no idea how long it's been that way. Was this an aftermarket speed mod or did it come out of the factory with it installed? Also, where can I order it from and what kind of effort is required to install it? The left side clearly still has it attached.
FoxMike Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 The missing piece is a rubber strip. A Mooney shop could get some for you. Might be a little hassle to install it but any A&P could do it.
jetdriven Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) LASAR sells it. It’s called U-channel Edited August 13, 2018 by jetdriven
Andy95W Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/uchannel.php?clickkey=43585 I'd get the 05-01600, looks like its $1.42 per foot. You could replace both sides so you wouldn't have to try to paint it to match. Use 3M super weatherstrip adhesive (from an auto parts store) to glue it on.
jetdriven Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 I bought the 05-02200 and its similar but doesn’t work. 1/16” panel thickness it doesn’t grab the metal right. That metal is .032”. Call Lasar. I couldn’t find it anywhere else.
Andy95W Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Forget what I said- probably best just to call LASAR! 1
flyboy0681 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Posted August 13, 2018 I knew I came to the right place for an answer. I'll give Lasar a call today, assuming business is back to normal.
flyboy0681 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Report Posted August 15, 2018 Dave at Lasar took care of me and the U-Channel is on its way. Thanks for all of the useful replies. 1
