montanamooney Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Hail storm today. Dimpled entire airframe. Nothing very deep but definitely all over. How bad is too bad to fly? Any suggestions dealing with insurance company?
sleepingsquirrel Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Hi, and welcome , As a new member of the Order of the Dimpled Mooney you will be surprised at the improvement in speed a few dimples make. Like a golf ball your Mooney will fly further and faster. The dimples act like vortex generators except less expensive and without the drag penalty. Unlike a golf ball the dimples will not make your Mooney spin any better. But eveyone knows not to spin a Mooney! right? How bad is too bad to fly? If visibility is less than 1//2 mile in and it's raining sideways it's probably too bad to fly! How to deal with an insurance company? I 'll leave that to the experts but AIG got away scott free!

Looks easy enough that I could use it if it was necessary. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&&item=300574990009&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:MOTORS:1120
