Default Pitot/static leak issues when using a "squat switch"

Again if you are installing TABS just set the transponder squat switch to "None" and use manual ON/ALT switching on the transponder.


I might forget to switch it correctly. Would using the "gear is down" switch to
change between ground/airborne be a sensible choice? The pattern (and the first
500'-1000' after the takeoff) would be flown showing the glider was on the ground,
of course, but that might be better than having the whole flight showing as on the
ground.
