The hysteresis in the switch is such that the re-set (to again disallow retraction) occurs somewhere around 20 mph. These settings seem to work fine. Just to be safe, "LANDING GEAR SWITCH - DOWN" is on my "before engine start" checklist, right after "TOW-BAR - STOWED" and before "MASTER SWITCH - ON". Check the circuit operation whenever the airplane is on jacks. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://members.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please remember that purchases from the Builders' Bookstore assist with the management of the LML.
