Today is a very windy day here so a good opportunity for some fresh air and maintenance checkups. As I lost a small (#4) screw on the aft underside plate, and a #7 screw at the firewall plate underneath, it's time again to check. And yep, several of the #4 screws were loose on the top cap strip just forward of the flaps, both sides. It was only time before some of them grew wings and departed.
