Hi Darren,
As if I ever do bouncy landings! Yes, I take your point but I would have a manual switch as well, and I would use a logical switch with a short time delay. However, I will bear in mind what you sat Darren. Ultimately the third position of the 3 position switch would be a chute release switch.
