Vlakvark Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Plane went in for an annual and now the cowl flaps stay open trail in flight. Where do I move the spring on the cowl to the body. I can close the cowls but get pushed open in flight. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrwilson Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Probably need new springs; may have stretched over time or during maintenance. Mine was doing the same thing and new springs solved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M20F-1968 Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I had the same experience. Replacing the old spring fixed the problem. Take your old spring to your local ACE Hardware store. They have a spring that will work which looks identical in their spring assortment. John Breda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
