The early models didn’t, but you’re correct if he does, that’s a good troubleshooting check. @Fly Boomer Override button didnt do shit, they just wouldnt come up (twice) until i got super slow. Works great on the ground on jacks. I guess its a wait and see. Should get it back at EOM. I also after the fact wonder if i remembered to tap brakes after liftoff. I think of that video online where the direction of wheel spin with 100kg weight on a stick can be lifted or cant.

It’s not the airspeed safety switch if the override button didn’t allow retraction (I’m assuming that you used it correctly and held it pushed rather than momentarily pushing it). I would not allow anyone to fool with it as that just introduces more confusion. It’s not necessary to tap the brakes on a Mooney for proper gear retraction. With airplane on jacks, I would clean the plunger on the up limit switch as these sometimes stick. Power must pass through this switch to enable retraction. 2
