I hear some IV builders have come up with a way to avoid a lockout solenoid
failure.  I am thinking of installing some kind of mechanical override.  It
may be a simple pull of some type the pilot can easily reach on the lower
console.  It would be awful to have the gear handle stuck in the up position
because of a broken wire in the release circuit for that solenoid.
I also have heard from the avionics shop some builders are not using the
solenoid.
I would appreciate any comments from other builders who have addressed this
problem.
Thanks,
