No, I did not join the 'those who have it' club but it was a little bit disconcerting to see only two green lights instead of the expected 3-green. I pulled some light g-manuevers and yawed the aircraft a bit and the green light would flicker a bit. Indicated to me as a micro switch problem and it was. After landing, I discovered that the left gear micro switch has move ever so slightly upward, enough to allow me to push a minute amount of travel on the switch. The right micro switch did not have any switch movement at all. So, I loosened the small screws that hold the micro switch and readjusted the switch. We should try and figure out some way to safety these switches that would not allow them to move, however small. Ideas? Thinking... You may want to add this small item to your pre-flight check as I have. And the list keeps growing... Rick Argente N360ZR P.S. I am beginning to dislike my N-number. Try saying it three times in a row, quickly: Three-Six-Zero-Zulo-Romero, Three-Six-Zero-Zulo-Romero, Three-Six-Zero-Zulo-Romero. See what I mean? Controllers hate it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
