This is a bit off topic but the comment that the 302 gear alarm is volume controlled is incorrect, at least in my installation. The gear alarm is very loud regardless of the volume control. And it already paid for itself...

Correct. I remember from the installation manual that alarms automatically have increased volume. I've tested it many times, though never in anger . . .

There are two paint dots on the cockpit side near the gear handle, green and red, to remind my hypoxic, dehydrated mind which way the handle should be.

Here's my best simulation of my hypoxic mind: "Green means GO, so that
must be GEAR IS UP"; "Red means DANGER, so that must be GEAR IS UP".
