Jean-Paul,
I am thinking in two different directions on this...one a pnuematic
lever, one position is gear down ,one is gear up. Second I am talking with
the company that makes the cylinders as they make some with electronic
sensors on them, which to me seems to be a very good way to use them with an
electronic gear up gear down switch , and even have a small LED panel that
lights up for the gear position. By using the later cylinders I believe
using the pneumatic lever "switch" and the LED panel could be the best of
both worlds But all of this will have to be tested and I am a long way
from that!

Mr. Dixon, would you mind telling us what will be used to activate your
retract mechanism? seems very interesting.
I'm actulally Flying with Pudlle Jumper floats. The retract system is
actuated by cables with manual locks (also cables activated.
