To be honest I rarely bend down and look under the elevator. Didn't your plane have an annual recently? Perhaps the A&P forgot to put it back on. | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 35,559 Likes: 559 DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!! | DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!!

Teaches me to be a lot more vigilant during my per flight. To be honest I rarely bend down and look under the elevator. Wanna buy an inspection plate?

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.

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. | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 5,188 Likes: 256 Member/5000+posts! | Member/5000+posts!

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?

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)
