Amphib Gear Position Check

[John R. Davidson]

I am wondering how the amphib fliers among you check the gear position before landing.

I can only see the L front wheel position, if I have a passenger, I ask them to check the right.
There are little miriors on the sides of the floats, but they are pretty useless.

Does any one have anything better?

I know Walter can see through a vent (by the passenger's R foot) he can see though if he contorts himself just right.

I think it was Carm Titus's plane that had clear lexan over the access port to the gear wells and Hi-visibility paint
on the wheel forks so it was possible to check at least your side in flight.

Is anyone using switches and lights? RE-directed back-up video? Mechanical indicators?

Just Curious.

John
