everything
seemed OK, but nothing happened when I hit the gear

After some (embarassingly long) period of
head-scratching,
I realized that when the plane is up on jacks, you
have to
short across the squat switch in order for the gear
to be
activated.  Doh!  One of those times you're glad
nobody else
is around.

maybe I'm a bit confused, but isn't the purpose of the

squat switch to prevent activation of the landing gear

retraction while the airplane is on the ground? I
would expect the gear to operate normally when on the jacks
--
just as it would in the air.
