In all cases it was traced to the lg Safety Switch. Therefore I advocate removing the static system connection from the Safety switch and just installing a vent line in front of the firewall. Hence any leak in diaphram would cause a miniscule drop in pitot pressure and any variation in the airspeed at which the gear SS solenoid activates would be minor. Charlie K.
