I think your right, I may have been thinking of either the 210 or maybe the 337. Been a while. This view sparked a recall, but details of ship are foggy now. I did like the 337 a lot. Must of been it’s radical design.

You and everyone else.
Now get the …
Now get the hydraulic timing to not close the doors on the gear while retracting. I had to solve that issue.
do you mean the …
do you mean the nosegear doors? they are not hydraulic on the 182. while at rest, springs hold them open; when the wheel fits into the well during retraction, it pushes against a bar that pulls the doors closed.
if you mean the main gear doors, there aren’t any on a 182. i know that some 210s had them however. that would be nice, i would imagine it would buy you a few knots- as long as they don’t malfunction at the wrong time… i’ve also heard of 210 owners removing them for that very reason.
as for reliability, …
as for reliability, the 182 has a hand lever that you can use to pump pressure into the system in the event of a gear pump failure. the only true failure mode is when the hydraulic system is breached, and without fall-down gear like a piper which is just held up by hydraulic pressure, and naturally returns to down-and-locked, the cessna setup is admittedly less robust. it does buy me 15-18 knots difference between gear down and gear up in cruise though… this plane trues out at 155-160 kts.

Yessir…and a fair number of Bonanzas, too.
That’s what makes the Columbia and Cirrus so attractive. Fast and fixed gear.
There’s also the Piper 6X, which is basically a modern day Cherokee Six…but she’s gonna drink ya out of house and home. She’ll also handle like a grand piano with wings.

Actually, Futureflyer, what matters most is that the landing gear come DOWN when it’s supposed to!!
The Cessna 210 and other Cessna RG planes have had a long history of trouble in that respect.

Build them with very long legs and fold them into the wings?

Makes me happy to have the simple Mooney gear system. No fluid leaking all over the place and everything comes up within 3 seconds.

doesnt matter how it looks comin up only thing that matters is its up haha

haha thats funny how they really do look like a retarded storks legs. but high wings do look good with their gear retracted
Certainly the way …
Certainly the way pipers retract their gears is basicaly better. But how else would you retract the gear in a high wing airplane?.
LOL looks like a …
LOL looks like a retarded stork legs retracting. I like Pipers design much better!
