  1. I checked out the up limit and while the switch seemed to be clicking and moving freely. I put a ohm meter on the contacts going from the "common" terminal coming from the landing switch to the "NC" terminal going to the up gear relay to be 40ish ohms. Considering that none of the other common terminals to "NC" termianls were even over 1 ohm I am pretty sure I found my problem.
  2. I have a airspeed safety switch instead of the squat switch. The airspeed switch is brand new and appears to be operating normal.
  3. A couple of months ago my 69 m20f landing gear failed to retract during takeoff at normal speed. As I continued the climb out I noticed as I got faster the landing gear would just randomly go up on its own once the aircraft hit the speed it liked. Over the course of the next month the speed required to retract got faster and faster until it just would not retract at all. I figured it was the airspeed safety switch since mine was still original 1968 and the problem seemed to be connected to the amount of speed the aircraft was traveling at. So I ordered the latest and greatest replacement from mooney. Installed it with no issues. Went flying today, and still no luck with getting the gear to retract after about 45 mins of flight time I was just flying along when out of the blue the gear retracted. So I tried to cycle the gear and it went down, went to put it back up and no luck. So the gear stayed down for the rest of the flight. I should point out I have never had any problems with the gear going down only going up. I was thinking it is maybe landing gear relay getting stuck. Anyone got any thoughts? Has anyone installed the mooney landing gear relay retrofit kit 940085-501. My relay is the original 1968 model so I can see how it could be bad. Any help would be appreciated.
  4. Labor is hight if you ask me. The 930 should not cost that much labor, its a very easy install.
  5. Whats the cost difference between the ray jay and the m20 turbo?
