Also use a low pressure safety device. I use Tams. But there are a few different brands out there. You preset it so it will lower the gear if you have a slow leak and pressure reaches the preset point. I had a plane develope a leak with gear up and this lowered the gear in flight. Slight trim change. But better than a gear up landing!
