ASW-20 B GEAR WARNING SYSTEM

ASW-20 B GEAR WARNING SYSTEM. ANY RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT TO BUY???

Something like THIS
https://wingsandwheels.com/landing-gear-warning-kit.html works really
great.Â* If you're electronically inclined, all the parts can be sourced
for a lot less money.Â* The kit, of course, has everything you need at a
reasonable price.

Buy?!?! Most build their own, sorta simple.....depends on YOU......
No slam, just saying.......
I have no clue on "bought systems"....I can only comment on "home brew". I would check with UH and T8 on what they do/did.

Many higher end varios have provision for gear warning (and that's what I use, just because it's there)... but really, a battery, a beeper and a couple of limit switches will do ya.

Really important: the gear warning needs a defeat switch. Some day -- probably on a ten hour ridge flight -- one of your switches will fail or get jarred loose and the warning will start howling in flight...

My low budget solution ...a piece of wing tape on the center of the ASI with "Gear?" written on it .

A clip that moves from the gear handle to the spoiler handle is another short term option.

A really cheap hair clip (2 for $1.79 at Walmart) works well, but it's not the strongest. Anyone have a recommendation for something a little more stout?

Many years ago I fitted a magnetic reed switch system to my glider. I glued
and taped the magnet onto the undercarriage operating arm and located the
reed in a convenient location. This system worked well. I do not own the
glider now but I suspect it is still functioning. Probably would not be
allowed to carry out such a modification now in Europe due to EASA rules.

In the UK, Lakeland Plastics sell "Lakeland Extra Wide Mega Clothes Pegs"
which fit well.
