mooneySpain Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Hi all I have a mooney m20e with electric gear. Testing the manual emergency retracting system I found out that it does not work due to failure in the mechanism inside the "Dukes drive connector" which acts as a clutch that connects/disconnects the cable for the emergency extension handcrank. The problem may be the cable and the dukes drive connector (diagram attached). Any idea of where I could find a replacement? Thanks!
TTaylor Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 First I would remove the parts from the plane and clean them. A few years ago I found the grease in mine had turned to a solid and would not allow the system to work. A complete cleaning and new grease fixed the problem.
KSMooniac Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Call LASAR. They have the part that failed inside the connector. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
mooneySpain Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Posted December 23, 2015 Thanks to both. We have already taken the part out of the plane, cleaned it and tried... but it just does not work when it is installed. I have contacted LASAR with my fingers crossed. Merry Christmas to all!!!
