So my Mooney (knicknamed "The Mooney Pit") was in the shop this week for it's annual. My A&P wanted to be proactive and replace the O-Rings on the fuel caps even though they weren't leaking. I agreed until he struggled to find replacements and then searched for the whole cap as a replacement. To our surprise the cap itself was available for $5,500. - we quickly figured out that the two gas caps on my plane are worth MORE than my plane as a whole!?!?!
Needless to say I love my Hatz even more... maybe it's time to make a canopy cover so I can fly her more in the winter.
