G'day Dan,

I assume the "new" switches are what I will receive from Lancair as standard issue..? When you say bad..did they fail a lot..or wear out quickly..if so how did his manifest?

Have you ever seen or heard of  a 320 flying without a nose gear door? Is there much increased noise or drag? Am getting a lot of "buzzing" from the nose area when above 140IAS and everything seem to indicate that it is the gear door fluttering or not closing properly (ground observer)

During ground retracts all doors close tightly..very curious!

Gerard
