Pre-takeoff checklist
I'm trying to get checked out in M20E. I previously flown J and C models, but never had to do retract gear manually (except in emergency)
So basically I'm seeking advice from people who are familiar with "Johnson Bar" in general and in M20E in particular. My problem consistw of retracting gear using left hand (since I'm sitting at the right). I can get gear handle half way through but when it comes to push it down to the latch, I'm guess I'm missing fundamental motor skill and find myself being pretty awkward pushing left hand down behind my body! Any tips regarding that issue are appreciated!
