More benefits of the C182RG over TB20/21:

2 bloody great doors with large opening windows, not gullwing Heath hazards
Rearward visibility to check for the Hun or TB's you've overtaken
Amazing pendulum stability
It's not French

Give me even a fixed gear 182 over a TB (Tarbes Botch) any day.

Maehhh:

Again I don't see your point. How do manual flaps save u from visual checks? Maybe I'm spoiled here but I simply consider it inconvenient. Not a big deal tho' ... I would agree on that.
Manual flaps DON'T 'save' you from visually checking flaps. You've missed the point - with your low hours it's easier to form habits. It's a good habit to form visually checking the set position accords to the handle/lever detent.

Is it because you think the handbrake style lever doesn't look cool when your taking chicks up? You want to feel more of a jet jock?
