How about this one,

If you are using the NAV lights during the day, when you put the gear down the gear globes are dimmed thus if the sun is behind or it's a bright day you get a little fright as you think your not dangling the dunlops.

The switch is a rolling switch that also contols the panel lighting. You can roll the swith to turn the NAVs on but if you roll it all the way (or more than you needed to) the panel lights which include the gear lights go dim. This will open yourself up to a situation where you may choose to do a gear up landing for absolutely no reason at all.

I think from memory most Pipers have the same silly system.

Other than that (and afew other things mentioned above) a great little cruising twin. Enjoy.

Oh yes also the Seneca 1, don't bother you may aswell fly a seminole.
