Mine has a strange problem: It = tests perfectly on the ground (bench or on the airplane in a gear = swing), but in flight it remains open and prevents retraction -- most of = the time. Immediately after takeoff, gear retraction's not a problem = but on a go-around, or (dare I say this) after practicing stalls up and = away, it generally prevents gear retraction. =20 I know this is not a hydraulic problem because when I rig an electrical = jumper around the switch, the problem goes away completely. So I'm thinking of trying a new replacement switch ($385 through = Lancair), but thought I'd ask: -- Anyone had a similar issue? -- Anyone using the much cheaper ($85) Universal switch from Aircraft = Spruce?
