Would you pay yourself the money...... spent on the failsafe......
to track down the leaks in your landing gear system to prevent the need of a failsafe in the first place?

For decades people flew air driven retract systems with massive vibration shaking everything and anything
with very few if any LG system failures...now all of a sudden we are so lazy to troubleshoot, maintain,
and not properly engineer our LG system installations.........that we feel the need for a security blanket?(A failsafe)

Tam makes great stuff....This is not a slam the Tam post, Nor that of his products.
BUT...What are we turning into? The best of the best who don't do the Preventive LG maintance
work on our own jets???....... so that we need some save our little tushies... gadget???

Your not just the pilot.....your the crew chief as well.

Long Live...... Joe Patroni.....
