They fly the same, one goes faster.

Understand how the 210 gear works. Pay attention to the alternator load after retraction. If the gear doesn’t completely cycle the hydraulic pump motor will keep running until it fails and often catches fire. On the walk around look for hydraulic leaks. If all the fluid leaks out there is no way to get the gear down. Make a mental note of how long the gear takes to retract and extend. If the gear transit time starts to increase something is wrong and needs to be looked at by maintenance.

Have a mental check to make sure you don’t forget to put the gear down. Mine is 500 ft or wings level on final gear handle down 3 green. 15 years after I first started flying retractables that check, which I did every time, saved me from landing gear up
