John -- as a TriGear builder, this may not even qualify as 2-cents worth, but
you
will find interesting info on two recent Europa accidents involving the gear
not
locked in the down position, on the AAIB (UK's NTSB) web site.
www.open.gov.uk/aaib/bulletin.htm, and click on April.
The accident reports have considerable detail on the incidents, one I believe
citing
that the builder's gear-down switch arrangement did not adequately verify the
thing was fully down.
(Wish the NTSB reporting was as good and timely, too).
