After my initial gear issues things cleared up for a couple of flights but today the problem came back. Today when I went to put the gear down I popped the breaker near what should have been the end of the gear down cycle (12-15 seconds in). Like the previous time I tried cycling the gear but this time I could not get a green light and was not able to reset the breaker right away in order to cycle UP even. Eventually I manually pumped the gear DOWN and got the green light and landed fine. When I look at the mirrors the gear appeared to be down and locked. To me it seems like the gear cycle may in fact be complete and perhaps one of the switches that tell the system that the gear is down and locked might not be functioning which would cause the motor to continue running, heat up and overload the circuit. This is my current best guess.

Obviously this little snag goes to the very top of my list of things to fix!
