Do you know what would happen if the gear up selector activated the hydraulic pump in the up direction? I am just guessing--the high pressure cutout switch would kill the pump? If they are a good maintenance addition, would the mains be candidates too?

The lock fits over the scissor assembly of the nose gear linkage and two quick-release pins keep it in place. If the gear tries to retract while this is installed, the scissor assembly is held rigid by the lock and the pins, thereby saving prop and engine damage. Could come in handy during ground ops or shop time. The latest rev has padded edges so as not to mar any paint or powder-coating.

I have a Legacy but would be interested in how these protect the
IV, how they would respond if a retraction is commanded and what
they are intended to protect against. Sorry, I probably should
know but I don't. Thanks for the pictures.
