Original B 737 NG Gear Lever installed

I was lucky to buy an OEM B737 NG gearlever. It is fully functional, switch and solenoid work. Installation at the FDS MIP was quite straight forward.

A great help was the excellent documentation on flaps2approach website, here is the link. I added one switch for the gear up position. Switches were connected to prosim FDS syscard. The solenoid via a Pokey output, which switches a relay for the needed 24 Volt.

Handling the gear lever now gives a really heavy aircraft feeling. Function is like in the real aircraft. Very nice!
