The 140 with gear up thing is why the old RAT equipped aircraft go into flight on batteries only with gear extension.

Another good way to find out which one is fitted is to look at the overhead CB panel. If the Capt's pressure probe CBs (2 of them) have yellow collars, it''s an old RAT. These yellow collred CBs are the ones you need to find in a hurry for extended flight on batteries only if you can't restore the RAT. o yellow collars on the overhead panel = new RAT.
