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.

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
