gear minder

Gear up landings or power sled?  What happened to the gear minder?  I have one on the IVP.  It is set to go off at 140kts.  It is an audible warning in the headset telling you to put the gear downrather insistently if you dont do it the first time.  I also believe the AOA can also do the same. 

It does 2 things, it tells you when you are going too slowly in climb out and when you are slowing up for landing to get the gear down.  I would not have a retractable without it.  It is a $750 insurance policy.
