Cheers TQ, I thought it was the front, but it's been a while and I only ever flew them with dual pumps or the elctro-hydraulic system.
Rat****.........I don't believe the wheels factor into it much. I flew one with the gear doors removed, which had gear-shaped holes in the fairings fitted over the wheel wells......just as C172RG's & C182RG's have. It had neglible drag to offer during the gear cycle, and as such we retracted the gear immediately when flying this one....assuming you were continuing of course.
Another point of interest Troopie.......There are quite a few STOL kit options and these can affect not only the T.O. & Landing performance, but very much so the cruise perfomance of the beast.
One last bit of advice.........get a good headset!!
