Hello All - My partner and I purchased our 1968 M20F back in June of this year and the prior owner indicated that the retractable step servo boot had been patched but was in rough shape. He also conveyed that he had been placed on Brittain's backorder list (more than a year ago) for the servo boots for when they started making them again, but he and others indicated it could be quite a while. We recently received communication from Brittain that they were producing and shipping the new parts now and asking if we were still interested. I was wondering if anyone has already recieved their new servo boot and had any reviews on them. Apparently Brittain is insisting you ship the old servo unit to them and they will ship the unit back to you with new components (boot and perhaps others?). Thanks! -
I need to remove three 40 year old servos to send to Brittain for overhaul. Is it okay to fly without the servos in place? I read somewhere that you should definitely not cap the vacuum lines to the servos after they are removed. Otherwise will wait until the airplane is down for annual to remove them. Thx Mark Jackson N201TK

Purchased my M20K/Encore conversion last October. Been loving it ever since. But I've noticed the electric trim has been intermittent a few times, getting worse over time. Really screwed me up on short final the other day, so I had it looked at and it appears the servo has issues. The bad news from my mechanic: Anyone know of any other options for getting this servo replaced or overhauled? I'd love to not spend an additional $6k so soon on this airplane! Cheers, Nicholas

Panel: I have a 1981 M20J. I am based at 2L0 (Pineville, La.) KFC 200 Autopilot altitude hold was intermittent and then quit working completely. I had an avionics shop in Houma La. check out the problem and was told the trim servo motor was bad. Avionics shop could not locate a replacement "motor" but said I could have the motor rebuilt for about $2,500. However, nobody has a rebuilt servo motor either. He suggested a new servo for $4,800 or sending it a guy in California that won't quote a price for rebuilding the motor or servo. I called Autopilots central in Tulsa who said he would look at rebuilding it for about $1,000. I have owned the plane for a few months and before that I rented. Accordingly, I have no history on what shops to use or which one are reputable. Here are the questions: (1) does anyone have one of these motors or servos for sale? (2) Recommendations on a place to rebuild the servo or motor or both; (3) what kind of price should I really expect? Thanks, Lawrence.
