Default Annual and rib replacement complete

..95 AMU for an annual is awesome. Base annual for my Mooney (almost the
same plane as an Arrow) at Top Gun is 2.5 AMU (inspection only, no
repairs).
I've heard good things about Richard at Main Air. Unfortunately in my
dealings with him I've felt that he doesn't respect me and doesn't
follow my directions very well. I'm pretty sure its an age thing. I
think he just thinks I'm too young to know what I'm talking about.
O61 is a fun airport for a test flight.

-Robert, CFI O61 based M20

Actually, I was off by a bit. .91 was the charge for the inspection.
Every little bit helps.

Geeze, do they gold plate stuff as they inspect? Ouch. The highest I
was quoted for an annual on the Arrow was at a Piper service center in
the Denver area, $1400.

I sure would have preferred elsewhere since any engine problems on
takeoff would be less than fun at Cameron Park. I just orbited the
airport up to around 5000 ft. then played with gear, flaps, checked out
our left wing heavy issue, and generally enjoyed the fact that I was
committing aviation.

What was the fix for the wing low problem?

They lowered the left flap ever so slightly.
