There are probably at least two or more positions where the microswitch
can be placed to sense the down and latched position. Which you choose
is up to you. I found that by attaching it directly to the OR4 no extra
mounting plate was required. It was a relatively simple matter to route
the wiring so that the movement of the OR4 was not an issue. To keep
the wiring compact I used 20 gauge single coaxial aircraft quality
wire.
I guess that my intermittent earth connection problem is at the plug-
socket connection at the back of the panel. I might reroute the earth
connection direct to the battery to overcome this.

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Unlatched outrigger
Regarding micro switches, it should only close when the outrigger is
'down and locked' and not simply when it is 'down'. I haven't seen
any discussion of the best location for the microswitch, but my belief
is that it should be on the OR7B step, with the switch tab facing OR5
arm. I have not installed it yet, but attached is a couple of diagrams
of what I am planning to do. Please let me know your thoughts.
