You're right Kingsley, however please do install Mod 51. THe other problem
that this mod addresses is the gear unlocking itself during a rebound/
(bounce on landing, we all do it occasionally, don't we?)
The inertia of the gear pulls the overcenter mechanism out of lock and can
flick it into unlock, then when the load comes back on with the next bounce
the gear will probably collapse. It's happened more than once.
