Makes me think a rear mounted cam / cockpit monitor would be nice on retractable gear aircraft to see and confirm gear operation

Re: DA42NG Island Hopping Bahamas with external GoPro
you are totally right, Mark! I just made a screenshot of minute 3:03 or so of my video for my DA-mechanic, the main gear doors are not tightly closed, but about an inch open, this must cause drag and reduce TAS!
