Default Learning from an owner annual

Dude, you really need to take a good look at the underside of a
Mooney, especially an older one. You just "think" a PA28 has a lot of
screws. Unless things have changed a whole bunch, they are mostly
countersunk machine screws, opposed to your universal head PK screws.

Really ups the temptation for a tech/owner to use power tools to crank
the **** out them when closing up. Makes me shudder just thinking
about it..


I have no problem using power tools to do that, you just need to use the
right ones and use them the right way. Every quality power screwdriver
I have ever used has an adjustable torque limiter, this will make sure
they don't get put in too tight.
