Landing Geber Lever

[pilot-as14]

Hello, I don't know, is there a bracket to fix the lever in this position? Can someone tell me?

Thank you!

It’s called an uplock.

@pilot-as14 eBay’s algorithm thought I might be interested in this. Looks like a good serviceable unit. Low time and only lightly worn.

Is that Cadmium plated instead of chrome?

[pilot-as14]

many thanks! Sorry, the picture is in the wrong position, the lever is on the ground! There is an uplock under the instrument panel. So my question is, is there a bracket at the bottom of the floor?

[pilot-as14]

ooo! Ok, understood! Thank you!

Up is down - down is up.

I bought the plane as a heap of aluminum and I didn't see many things.

Some people buy a second salvage airplane for parts.

And some buy a heap of parts and make it fly again.

My point was that a basket case may be missing a few parts, and some salvage airplanes, while not flyable, may have all the parts still attached.

OK...............you've got us curious now..................please share your story with this Mooney.  As you already know, there's lots of help and information here on MS.

I have a Vintage Mooney with a Johnson bar.  I think I have an Uplock Block (the one bolted to the floor) in decent condition I could sell for much less than the E-bay seller is asking.  I'll look to see if I indeed have it.

Hi, thanks to everyone for the reaction! A member of Mooney EMPOA here in Germany offered me the part.

Best regards

Alex,

John has helped me out of a pinch more than once.  I honestly can’t get over how much Mooney stuff he has.  Allen Fox is another person to keep in mind.
