Good afternoon. I have read here over the years several threads re: electric gear wear and ADs and malfunction worries. Because of those worries, I have recently completed the removal of field-installed electric gear and installation of manual gear retraction system. I have not yet checked the retraction system rigging. I don't really want to spend $350 for two rigging tools. The tools appear to me to provide a secure way to fasten a torque wrench to the retraction truss at a certain point in space for which the overcenter break torque is specified. My 1967 M20F left the factory with manual gear retraction system. I plan to offer my complete electric retraction system, as removed, for sale soon.

Still available?

Do you have any 1967 M20F main gear retraction tubes #560116 and/or bungee assemblies #560138-1 for sale?

Thanks, how do I quote him?

EricJ: I agree. The simplicity of the manual gear appeals to me. I am scared of collapsing it on the ground. I am at least equally scared of failure, somehow, to extend the electric gear while airborne. I agree with you.

I own a 1967 M20F. It is equipped with Electric gear. I have confirmed with the Mooney Factory my airplane was delivered with Manual gear. My understanding, based on my readings here and conversations with Mooney Factory and study of the M20 Parts Catalog, is that M20s were not delivered by/from the factory with Electric gear before 1968. Pre-1968 models could avail themselves of a Factory retro-fit kit to install Electric gear in the field. Electric gear installation was offered sometime post-1968, I think, as a Factory option. None, except the first three sentences, of what I have written should be considered gospel. I suspect the above pertains to the Original Poster as it does to me. The point is that it probably is simpler and easier and less expensive to return the Poster's airplane to it's original Manual gear. I am considering the same, for reliability reasons.

Located N. Texas. Good shape. PM for info, pics.

Upon further reflection I recall the Spanish word "canon" with tilde has also accent mark on "o" in keeping with the rule in Spanish words ending in "n" or "s" have emphasis on the penultimate syllable unless marked with accent otherwise.

My keyboard does not have the tilde function that I can find. When I learned Spanish in school the tilde above the n was a separate letter of the alphabet, as were ch, ll, rr. I recall the English "k" was not part of the Spanish alphabet. The word "canon" with tilde is the phonetic equivalent of the English word "canyon" with the caveat the accent in the Spanish word is, in this example, on the last syllable. I think they mean the same thing. Of course, I am usually wrong.

I have an F model and am pretty sure I need those cylinders, Mike Warbington warbingtonmasonry@gmail.com 719-684-6658 or, if all else fails, PM me. Thanks
