Yup, I seem to remember pumping the gear up. also pumping the doors open on the preflight.
There another little trick to remember.........on the older models, they only had one hydro pump........engine driven, on the front. dont try to land one on the rear engine and leave the gear till late final, it really scrapes up the paint on the pod. , as a certain instructor in a certain Goldfields town discovered.
I have flown two models, years apart from each other, and the wings and perfomance were markedly differant. the less older one had a laminar flow type wing and the older one had a huge chord and looked like it should have been on an ag plane. I prefered the older one ( 67' model) as we were lifting some veeeeery heavy loads with it.
