GeeBee Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 The Mooney gear is too fast to leave down. If you have a TO engine failure, put the gear down. It will be there by the time you touch down. Also hard on the gear to retract at higher speeds. 4 Quote

Even at my current 5000' home field, by the time I'm at 50', there's precious little usable runway left. At my previous 3000' fields, there was none. Quote
jetdriven Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 Once you come off the ground, even on a 4000’ runway, there really isn’t enough to stop. Besides. You can stop on the belly skins. 2 Quote
