CH750 Panel With Float Controls
Bottom left corner of the ynon D180 is an unlabeled (it will get done) red toggle switch to raise & lower the float landing gear. To the right of this switch is the 25 Amp "push to reset" style fuse for the hydraulic motor that draws 20 Amps. Note that the flaps, trim, and gear switches can all be operated by the pilot without removing your hand too far from the throttle because your right hand will be busy with the Y-stick. Each switch has a different feel to it, and the gear switch requires alittle extra effort to reach.

You simply look out the window in the door to see the mechanical linkage / hydraulic cylinder sticking up through the float wheel well top skin for the main gear, and you can look past the panel to check the position of the nose gear. A small concave "trucker mirror" installed on the passenger side jury strut will assist on the visual checking of the gear on that side.

I like it! Any kind of indicator you can install to let you know the wheels are up or down?
