There comes a time when too much gadgetry is a real detriment. What you will never know, if you don't see a LED in the right condition, is whether the circuitry failed or the gear is really screwed up. Since there is far less to go wrong with the simple micro-switches that indicate the correct end positions, why sould anyone purposely add such complications? A Lancair, or any airplane, is complex enough in itself. Adding complexity for the sake of complexity is not justifiable. (IMHO).
