Gear Warning Switches on a Mosquito
I'm going to install gear warning switches in my Mosquito. I'd
appreciate some advice on the location, type and mounting method of the microswitches. Thanks Scott |

I've always preferred magnetic reed switches (~$2) since there is no contact
between the control system and the switch. The reed switch contacts are hermetically sealed in 2" long 3/16th dia glass tubes so dirt can't contaminate them. Additionally, they are unlikely to get out of adjustment. I install the reed switch on the fuselage wall with either epoxy or outdoor double sided foam tape. Then find the right place on a pushrod for the little magnet that activates the switch then epoxy it in place. Bill Daniels "scooter" wrote in message oups.com...
