Some years back I watched a guy in a Mooney try a go-around after the
gear failed to jack it up high enough for the prop to quit leaving
chaw marks. He (or the guy in the right seat) realized the folly in
that and then gave up. Starting at the numbers there was a line of
chaw marks fairly far apart which suddenly got real close together.
Then there was a couple hundred feet of clean runway followed by more
wide spaced chaw marks and then skid marks. He slid over half a mile
before leaving the runway.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. How did it happen? it just wasn;t down to
begin with or did it begin to retract after touchdown?


I had a drag link fail on a Twin Beech landing once and we went off the
side of the runway and bent the prop. they just bolted a new one on
overnight and we were flying it the next day.
