I have had a gear minder in my 320 for 10 years
now, maybe more.It is a very complicated device but it does work quite well.It
is a bit annoying when purposely at slow speeds (like at OSH). You hate to turn
it off since that will surely be the time you need it most. It was extremely
hard to install. I gave up on it a took it to the factory to have them do the
final installation. I remember it took 2 full days and at one point Lance said
"what the hell is going on here".The answer to the question, I think, is that it
works off of air pressure thru the pitot tube. I know this because to do a gear
test on the ground you have to bring the airspeed up to 100 with mouth pressure
thru a plastic tube attached to the pitot tube. I am under the
impression that Lancair no longer sells or supports the item. Sincerely, Fred
