dominikos Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Folks, I would really appreciate help with this one. I cannot figure out the name of this part and best way to go about fixing it/replacing. The holes have been getting bigger. I’ve tried reviewing mooney part catalog but I cannot find it there.

EricJ Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's just a "fairing". Part no 30 in 32-11-00 in the M20J IPC. You can remove it and patch the hole, fill it, etc., with common plastic or fiberglass repair techniques. There are some threads around here about fixing them, or making fiberglass/carbon replacements. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT20J Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I would put the plane on jacks and adjust the gear doors so that they don’t keep damaging the fairings. You can check price and availability, but most Mooney OEM parts are expensive, so I would give some thought to repairing them. There are products for repairing auto bumpers that might work. Perhaps someone else on MS has repaired some. Someone was also making some out of carbon fiber, but as Byron @jetdrivenpointed out, the originals have some flex which is probably a good thing.

N201MKTurbo Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I had a bird strike once. It hit that fairing, busted out the front and the bird was jammed in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
