AirEuropa,

Not anymore but had that Mooney for 13 years. Nice airplane but lots of work.

Regarding the location of such opening, I agree it's awful from a structural 
standpoint.
But only in the longitudinal direction. Not much change laterally since
the bottom already has two access holes in that direction.

But as the owner of an older partially built kit, I new some things would not be
to my standard of quality and would have to be fixed. And I can assure you,
it has been very educational :)

As they say, the beauty of composites is that almost anything can be fixed! Now
I know how.

BTW, hence my previous (unanswered) post asking to see if anyone knew the 
pre-preg
materials used in the fuselage. Important info if repairs are to be made.

Chris
