Thought I posted this but I can't see it. If it is duplicate, my apologies.

Turning finals in my amphibian I realised the wheels were up. Panic stricken pulling of gear unlock lever and switching for electric motor. Used both hands. Luckily she has a real sweet spot for trim and stability right about 60knots, 20 flaps 3,300 revs (geared prop)

Thought about it a lot afterwards. Should have overshot, "Fly the Plane first." Get back in the circuit to lower the gear.
