larryb Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Lubrication is key! I have owned two Mooneys, an '84 J with manual cowl flaps and a '97 Encore with electric cowl flaps. In the J I could really feel in the knob when the system needed lubrication. A shot of tri-flow on all linkage joints made the difference. But with the electric system you can't feel this and I'll bet most pilots motor on without ever lubricating this system. Maybe it gets a bit of lube at annual but it needs it more often. Every time I have the cowl off, say for an oil change, I lube the cowl flap linkage. Several times a year. Larry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost just under $500 plus shipping, $533 total. Much better than the $1300 I was looking at from Mooney. Cheers! Still valid contact info, shipped the broken one to them today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
