Seat Twist on retraction.

Mooney Fans!

 

I need help.  My pilot seat twists when I put the wheels up and down.  Whats going on? Anybody else ever felt their booty move when they move the gear lever?   Im in a 1969 M20F.  One of my gear doors has a crack in it too.  Not sure if thats related or not.  My mechanics comment was, it "ain't supposed to do that!"

You are feeling the gear motor. It is under the right rear leg of the pilots seat. It is more apparent with the 20:1 gears.    When you replace the gears, you will feel it a lot less.

For the gear door, talk to your mechanic.  There may be some available here also.

I second Ron. There's never any doubt when the wheels come up, between the motor torque and the tires thumping into the wheel wells right under the seats . . . It's also pretty noticeable when they lock into the Down position.

I get the bump in the O as well.

Willy,  Are we talking about  the same thing?
