ACTUAL BOOK REVIEW FEEDBACK
"Zef, Almost done with
your book! I'm reading slower so it won't be done!It's a great read not only for Mooniacs,
but for anyone who wants to be a plane owner.
" Bill
Custer
"Dear Mr. Zephro, Your
new book is the most informative that I have read not just about
Mooneys but about the ownership process for any brand of airplane. I
look forward to reading the rest of the series once you write
those." Ed Harris
"Wow, what an
interesting and informative book! You've made me rethink the buying
process and I am grateful not just for that, but for all of the
articles you have written about Mooney's and flying in general. You
have a way to help make people think. Please keep writing!" Art
Mingle
"Mr. Z, This is the
best 40 bucks that I have ever spent! There are so many outlined
ways to save money while learning so much about airplanes in general
and I believe that I'll be a better pilot for it. Keep up the great
work and good luck with your new book" Jim Dougherty

Some of us have our
planes all waxed up, shiny and ready to go. How would you feel, however, if you
went to pick your date up, and she answered the door looking sharp with her
tilted hat, tight slinky dress, nice new shoes, but ugly, ugly, really ugly,
hairy, dry, flaky, corroded looking legs? Kind of ruins the whole thing you
might agree.
Same thing for the other
lady in your life….your Mooney!
Is she sharp and ready
to go, but has ugly legs? Let’s fix that!
You will need a way to
jack the plane up. Things can be done on the ground, but the job will look a lot
better if you jack her up.
Remove any inner gear
doors, remove brake pad, remove axle nut and slide main wheels off. Remove front
wheel.
Let the air out of the
main tires by removing valve stem. Split the rims and inspect for damage or
corrosion. Mark the tire on the side that has the air valve. Clean off the rims,
then steel wool or sand as necessary to smooth out old paint. Spray them with
several thin coats, 3-5 minutes between coats if thin, or somewhat dry to the
touch. Use Krylon (not water base) spray. Usually white or gray/silver.
Clean the grease off of
the axle spindles as well as the gear legs themselves. Look up in to the wheel
well. If actuator rods need attention, clean them off too. You can even go so
far as to clean all up in the gear well and repaint that whole area. Always mask
off any hoses.
Get some coarse
sandpaper and sand on the gear leg areas to be repainted. If the gear legs don’t
need a lot of sanding due to being in reasonably good shape, use a lighter grit
sandpaper. Get them as smooth as possible. If you had a lot of rust, you should
buy some rust stop spray such as is available at Wal-Mart. This turns rust in to
a paintable primer.
If you have to
sand enough to reach bare metal, you should get some spray paint primer. Krylon
has that also.
Mask off all areas that
could be affected by over spray, and have good venting, but little wind. Mask
off your shock disks. If you don’t mask well, take some dish soap on a small
paint brush and coat the disks with a sticky coat of dish soap. Careful not to
drip on the intended areas of paint. You can later wash off the soap once the
paint becomes washable in a day or so.
Also mask the spindles.
Spray several light
coats of Krylon white if you are painting them white, or try to match any spray
paint with your particular color.
You may also elect to
repair and repaint your inner gear doors at this time. If your hubcaps are
painted, do them at this time.
Place some wheel bearing
grease on to the spindle and spread all over. Repack wheel bearings if needed,
and replace grease seals if damaged or leaking. Spread some talcum powder over
the inner tube. This will stop any binding to the tire due to heat and will stay
free to move around inside the tire. Place the tube inside the tire, replace the
valve stems and add enough air to stop the tube from catching within the two
split rim pieces, but not enough to expand the tire sides. Replace the rim
halves, but this time have the tire facing the opposite direction as when you
took it off. This is why we marked the tire. Now your tire will last up to 40%
longer, because Mooney’s like to wear on one side only.
Put everything back and
have your mechanic check your work. Be certain to tie wire your brake pad and
inner gear door bolts.
Let her down and watch
that chick look really sharp!
