REFLECTOR: Nose gear microswitch

[Michael Watson]

John,

Check the mounting bracket at the base of the nose gear actuator.
It's located in the keel an the floor. The mounting holes on mine got
elongated almost a 1/2 inch.This prevented the nose gear from going over
center.
I remade the L brackets using steel instead of aluminum.
