Roy, That's a good idea. But I can't see my exhaust port as the amp fits into a shelving arrangement. And at 5:00 AM on the 2nd day of the 48 hours, I think a flashing red light and yelp-type siren m

A friend of mine has a retractable gear aircraft. It has a gear lever that goes forward and backward to make it go down and up. I got checked out in it a few years ago and the check pilot tried to tr

I was going to say this had to be a home built aircraft as any retract built in the last 50 years has to have both a gear warning horn (activated by retarding the throttle with the gear up) and indic

Three in the Green. If a lamp is burnt out, you automatically do a go-around. No exceptions. Fly the pattern and ask for a visual from the tower. Don W4DNR ___________________________________________

Having a "warning" light to tell you when something is "normal" ( gear up ) creates more confusion than it solves. It's like having a HV off light. Don W4DNR _________________________________________
