REFLECTOR: Landing gear horn

The builder of my Velocity used a "buzzer" (non-electronic... the 
"old-fashioned" type with mechanical contacts).
It is quite loud but comes with a bonus... the contacts make so much EMI 
that the marker beacon
lights and several of the misc warning lights flash erratically!  Can't 
ignore all that!  The only down-side is when I want to
retard the throttle at times other than landing and the lights go nuts. 
But, I choose not to clean-up the EMI
as the benefit (for me) outway the irritation.
