Dear All
I am considering adding a landing gear warning system to my monowheel
Europa. I would be grateful for any ideas or tips on how to go about it.
Thanks in anticipation

William, If you invest in a smartASS it may well save your
life and it also incidentally comes with a system warning
you if gear is not down when you reduce to approach speed,
so it may save your prop and engine too!

I am not flying yet, but here is what we are doing:

Ron, I would very seriously recommend putting in a
SmartASS (see article in upcoming Europa Club Mag.) I know
that it has saved at least one Europa pilot's life. It is
an amazing bit of kit that is your best bet for avoiding
stall spin accidents, but also has a nice lady telling you
to put the U/C down! If you are at all interested I will
send you a preview of the article. Regards, David Joyce,

Hi David
Ron, I would very seriously recommend putting in a SmartASS:
We purchased a Smart ASS Mk 1 that will be installed:

I forget if it has a UC warning input, if it does will probably use it as well as our warning system.
Thx. for your INPUT!

Ron, If it is reasonably current it has a wire for a U/C
warning which you can attach to a microswitch in the
indent where the U/C lever goes when locked. You shouldn't
need another one as well. regards, David

Instead of a microswitch, I use a magnetic reed switch mounted on the centre console, with a small magnet embedded in the undercarriage latch. It has the advantage of not restricting the latching in any way.
