Dico,
I have a very simple cheap gear minder.
I have a washing machine water pressure switch on the pitot tube line that closes a circuit at 90 kts indicated. I have a small switch in the gear well that closes with the gear door to that circuit which has a light on the panel and a small horn behind the panel.
If I slow to under 90 kts, I get a red light in front of my nose and a horn in my ear..
4 of my favorite things, easy, cheap, light, effective...

Hello,
I am wondering if someone could tell me how the gear minder works. Where does it get its information from to determine if the gear should come down / up?
