    i have a ITT LA11C2114 motor. Eaton made the back spring part inside the ITT LA11C2114 motor.
  2. faridaamar
    basically Eaton made a bad batch of back springs and one of them was installed in my motor as part of an overhaul by LASAR in 2021. now the spring keeps the motor from unwinding and releasing the tension on the gear when it overruns. the only solution now is a new spring which is literally impossible to find or a whole new motor.

    hi! yes i saw 3 (including this one) on ebay but my mechanic has looked into them and advised me not to buy them. so frustrating! thanks for searching.

    I asked Aeromotors and they cant help and don’t have the parts. My last overhaul was March 2021 with LASAR. I did speak with Don Maxwell, he also does not have the parts and suggested asking LASAR. I am already waiting to hear from LASAR who said they currently do not have the parts but are trying to find them for me.

    Aeromotors said they cannot help.

    Totally agree! When I reached out to Aeromotors someone named Ole replied with "Sorry I do not show that we have the landing gear motor on our Capabilities List." But, now that there us the new safety bulletin released on 3/3/23 about this issue (attached), one of these guys should capitalize on it and make some parts for Mooneys! I can't possibly be the only one. FAA SAIB M20 Landing Gear 2023-02.pdf

    Hi! Thank you, great idea. I am trying to reach Arte Lewis now... if you know him plz give him a nudge for me! Hah...

    Spoke to Don Maxwell and he said a Dukes 1496 or a Dukes 1057 motor would also work.

    After already having a complete overhaul, my landing gear motor is still having problems. The only answer now is a total replacement and it is not possible to find these new so I am searching for used ones in better condition than what I currently have. If anyone has these parts I could buy or knows someone who does or if you have any ideas/suggestions on where to look, please let me know! Thank you.

    Hello again everyone! My mechanics were finally able to recreate the issue, hooray! They cycled the landing gear three times and the problem reappeared all three times. They were able to take things apart and see with their own eyes the issue. Thankfully it has now been verified, I always feel a little crazy when I say there is something wrong while flying and they can't replicate the issue in the shop. lol. Here's what they explained to me, "We checked the landing gear rigging and it checks out ok. The problem is when the gear goes down to the full down position, then the gear motor starts unwinding to up slightly until it kicks back on. This slight movement is constantly happening until you pull the breaker. That’s why the unsafe light is going on and off that is the gear moving from full down to unsafe and then back. I believe you need a new or repaired landing gear motor, problem is that they a hard to find." So, now the hunt is on for a ITT LA11C2114 landing gear motor to replace the one I have entirely. Curtis and I have been searching for days now with no luck, so if any of you have one lying around or know someone who might, please let me know. I would appreciate any help in the hunt. Ps. For everyone concerned earlier, my plane has always been at Foothill in KCCB (as mentioned in the first message) which is a Mooney Service Center.

    my fuel pump was off before we heard the noise. I turn it off in my after landing checks after clearing the runway. the sound didn't start until after we were done taxing and starting the shutdown.
  13. faridaamar
    agreed. I feel VERY familiar with my beacon and all it's grumpy noises and this sound was not that. I understand why people might suggest this without having heard the mysterious noise I am reporting, but it was so wildly different from any normal sound I am used to hearing that I literally wouldn't fly home.
  14. faridaamar
    could the opposite be possible? maybe the switch is being held "on"?
  15. faridaamar
    thank you! do you know anyone near KCCB who you would recommend / trust to deal with this kind of issue? if I fly it, pull the circuit breaker, and do not retract the gear ... how can I recreate the problem? do you think it will happen again if the motor is not receiving any power?
