Vlakvark Posted February 4, 2020 Report 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
jrwilson Posted February 4, 2020 Report 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
M20F-1968 Posted February 4, 2020 Report 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
Vlakvark Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Posted February 4, 2020 The spring is a year old. Quote
