Mooney M20C Questions
Yes. That's how you retract the flaps.
No, the retraction mechanism is a little flap-like lever *above* the silver handle. Lifting it up releases the hydraulic pressure. When it's down, the pressure should remain. The silver handle I'm talking about is the pumping handle. The flaps are coming up some times when I'm not looking and I haven't established a pattern yet. ;-) On Apr 18, 7:47 pm, Ron Rosenfeld wrote: On 18 Apr 2007 08:10:13 -0700, Greg Esres wrote: On the hydraulic flaps, does the position of the silver pump handle have any bearing on whether or not the hydraulic pressure leaks out of the flap, once they are extended? (The POH doesn't say that it does.) Yes. That's how you retract the flaps. There is some mechanism underneath the instrument panel that has some adjustment for the Positive Control. What does it do, exactly? I don't recall anything at all like that in either the '68C or the '65E models with which I have experience. --ron |
