Didn't your plane have an annual recently? Perhaps the A&P forgot to put it back on.

As long as it ain't yellow.

My annual was done last June. But I have not washed my plane this year (we have been super busy at work) but I think I would have noticed before now.

Just ordered one off eBay. $6 bucks plus $7 bucks shipping. Shipping cost more than the part.

Didn't know the 150's had inspection plates under the elevator. The right side of the Horizontal Stab has one to inspect/ maintain the Trim tab actuator. I would check the tinnerman nuts that the screws screw into. You will probably fine one ear broken off of one are more(3) of these nuts. Seen lots of them in that condition. If you can't find one quickly I have one I will give you.

Don right you are ... horizontal stab. Will check the tabs next time I’m at the airport. Thanks. Let me see what the one from eBay looks like and I might be taking you up on your offer.

Does any one know what size/type screws it takes?

That panel is the NUMBER ONE most often lost panel following an annual inspection.

It is out of sight, out of mind.

I’d begin the search with your mechanic, Mr. Monday. Air Salvage of Dallas is close to me if you can’t find one. I’ll go get you one. (Not yellow)
