Do you take the cowl off a 172 when you pre-flight it? I have never and
was never taught to do that. Besides the gaping hole in the m20c cowl
should allow you to peek at just about everything.

I have been reading about the Mooney M20C, E, F series planes, and it has
been mentioned that there are so many screws holding the cowl on, that many
pilots do not do a full preflight. Is this the case? That seems like a
safety problem.
