...............................ya gotta love the C210 U/C ( or any SE cessna gear)...................I once flew into TW with a totally dead batt in a C210 had to pump the gear down, flapless ldg of course & keep an eye out for a green light from the twr. Fortunetly the twr guy got the one & only message I was able to TX& RX b4 the said batt died. After pumping down the gear one of the main legs wasn't quite right so some 'man handling' of the controls & shaking of the plane fixed that!...............& the pax (5 of em')............all Harley riders out for a thrill !!!!......never forget that, they thought it was all part of the fun !!
Anyone else had C210 gear probelms?

Good to see that only metal got bent, not flesh in the lattest incident.
