When I went to Mooney school, their technique was to cement (contact cement) a small magnet to a thin 4ft rod (tig welding rod) and slide that inside the steel tubes of the fuselage. Any rust present when the rod was withdrawn failed the inspection. The instructor also said every time he did this, he found rust. :(
How do you get that magnet inside without cutting the tubes open with a hacksaw first?
