On at least two flights so far, at low power setting, flying towards the pattern, the nose gear light (green) of my Lancair would light up for a few seconds.  I know that the nose gear is tucked in since I don't feel or hear anything different.  In addition, the light eventually turns off after a few seconds.  Has anybody else experienced this situtation?  One of the things I still have to do is to fabricate that small door that shuts the nose gear tunnel completely whenever the nose gear is retracted.  So my guess is that the air pressure going into the nose gear wheel, on occasion, is at just the right pressure and direction to turn the nose gear micro switch on.  Rick Argente
