Markku Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 Anyone know where I can borrow or rent a set of travel boards for a 78 M20J?
Raptor05121 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 Check with Alan Fox- I believe he was in the middle of sourcing a set.

Alan is in NJ… @Alan Fox Where is Markku? Often MSCs have the travel boards, some MSCs are more skilled than others… Using travel boards requires a fair amount of skill, effort, and time…. A well rigged Mooney is a thing of beauty… and worth the effort… PP thoughts only, not a mechanic… Welcome aboard Mark! Best regards, -a-
Beard Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 Excuse my ignorance, but what is a travel board for an M20J?

They're boards used for measuring the deflection of control surfaces in order to make adjustments for rigging. There are other techniques, like protractors or digital levels, that work, too, but some prefer the use of the boards, which are fairly rare. 2

Like any shop, I doubt they'd loan them out to anyone that isn't local and someone they know and trust. These boards are rather large and fragile to ship, in fact shipping them with protective packaging gets very expensive. Its been over a decade since an aircraft tools rental company in AZ actually did rent these out - but they had a protective case built to hold and ship them.
