Hi Gilles,

Yes that was my original thought too.  My Comanche had a similar
setup,  but once I still found myself turning from base to final with
the gear up after a distraction from the Control Tower who were trying
to advert a mid air.

Would it have worked when I finally closed the throttle? The Comanche
like many aircraft with a higher wing loadings liked to be landed
carrying a little power.  I could imagine a scenario where I wasn't
warned until I was in the flair which would have been very late.

Still thinking about it.  Thanks for the idea, keep them coming.

Paul
