And to do the annual/200 hour inspections
you have to remove the interior stuff, which just tears those holes to
bits over the average airplane lifetime if you do the maintenance
properly.

You have to remove the interior panels of a 172 to do an annual

Dang. Makes me happy to own a Piper, where all we have to do is remove
(in the passenger compartment) the seats, the flap handle cover, the
back seat floor panel, and the rear bulkhead.
