[hharney]

I chose to remove mine years ago after trying to repair and fix too many times. I really can't remember the last time I saw a Skymaster that still had them. I know there has been previous posts on this subject and to some extent there were comments made about airworthiness without the screens. The IA that removed mine way back when made an entry in the logs that they were removed.

They were originally on the cowling to keep feathered critters out. Mines almost always hangered so I don't worry about those little varmints.
