Scott,
couldn't agree more - your comment made sense so I dug up my ol'
manuals
for N235SP (an early 235) and checked out the recommended gear
schematic,
which would have been the way I wired mine. And guess what?! All
of the
power for the entire gear system (except the green down-and-locked
lights)
go thru the gear breaker in my manual (and therefore, on my
airplane - I
checked). From what you recommend, it must be assumed that
somewhere along
the way Lancair "updated" their construction manuals and
changed that
little detail.
Also, as an aside, don't know what relays are now being
supplied for the
gear pump but my kit came with two of the same type
contactors used for the
main bus on/off relay - in my opinion, a good thing
as they are designed to
make/break fairly large inductive loads. Using
these contactors, the only
diodes needed is across the coils to protect the
gear toggle switch.
Dan,
Here is the info I promised...
This
diagram existed in the circa 1989 320/360 Slow-Build construction manual, The
revised Fast-Build Manual, the 235/320/360 Pilot Operating Handbook (POH), 1994
(as depicted above) and, at least, early Legacy construction
manuals.
Here
is what it should look like:
And
the following is the warning to pull all breakers from the construction manual
(see WARNING box):
