Yes, and if you could incorporate this in your AOA product, it would be the 
best of both worlds.  You see, I'm deciding on whether to get Lancair's gear 
minder system, which also includes a squat gear function -OR- your AOA / gear 
minder system.  My decision would be a lot easier if you can add a squat gear 
function also!  

You are probably right that my pitot/static system has some sort of error at 
slow speeds.  Yesterday, we did some slow flights with two people and 
approximately half fuel.  The IAS was at 60 knots (no flaps, no gear), and is 
was only starting to buffet a bit.  I added a small amount of flaps, and the 
buffet disappeared.  

<<Since the AOA is a gear warner maybe it should also be a OG gear safety 
device too>>

Please give the squat switch idea some thought and consideration...

PS I know that the pressure sensors and water drain will be installed near 
the wing tips.   What kind of sending medium will go from the wing tip to the 
cockpit, wires or tubes?
