I meet people all the time who say, "Hey Jim, didn't you go
to Spartan 35 years ago?" or some other such. I always use
my real name, Google for "James H. Macklin" (use the quotes)
and I'm not the Ph.D from California.

away

your

repairs/inspections

Yet

| | Quoting from the original post "I was able to call an
A&P
| to come down
| | to Mexico and swap it for me." Sadly, the other Mooney
| owners wants his
| | back (go figure) so yes, more repairs were also done
back
| home (like
| | ordering a factory new aileron for me, paint etc).
Yes it
| was
| | inspected in Mexico by the A&P doing the work and all
wing
| panels
| | relevant to aileron control were removed before the
A&P
| got in the
| | plane with me and we performed the test flight. I
honestly
| don't know
| | what else to do with regard to inspection other than
| having had the A&P
| | look at it. I could ask Mooney if they want to send an
| engineer down
| | but I don't think that is going to happen.
| |
| | Jim, I'm still highly offended by your comment about
my
| family.
