For those that like to take unwarranted shots,
The circuit I offered was in responce to others
that have asked for such a thing. I made up and tested the circuit because I
could see a pilot getting distracted and forgetting the gear and agreed
that an additional reminder could be helpfull. As a commercial rated pilot with
single, multi and instrument ratings since 1972, I still feel that additional
help is . . . "helpfull".
The circuit was made from recent schematics of
Lancair 320/360 wiring (posted by Randy Stewart) that shows the gear
switches providing a ground to the lights and covers the majority of Lancairs
out there. I was not aware of the ambiguity and vagueness of lighting
in Lancairs of old. The circuit is easily adaptable to the opposite
polarity if needed. My circuit will still flash even if all legs are not down
flashing the leg(s) that are not down. Once all legs are down, indicator
operation is normal. Not using active electronics (IC's) also gives a measure of
survivability.
