From a 210 Driver
Hmm ... flaps vs no flaps on take off is something that has been debated here before, I'm sure.
Why hasn't anyone said anything about the C210 yet ...
It's been said before - no other piston single carries as much, as far, as fast as a (later model) 210. ... and no C of G problems to speak of.
Admittedly the Bo is nicer to fly though.
