Nice tip worked - Schleicher cockpit handles

PS: I haven't had a gear warning system in a glider since then (1971). I figured if I could ignore a horn going off in my ear, it wasn't going to do me any good anyway. Chip Bearden ASW 24 "JB" USA For what it's worth, for the last 30 years I've used a cockpit reminder aid in all my retractable gear ships. I put a small (1 inch square) green tape square at the "down & locked" end of my gear travel, and a similar sized red tape square on the "up and retracted" end of the gear handle travel. At the end of a long flight, it's reassuring to simply glance down at the gear handle and verify it's in the "green" end of the travel. Bob |
