We're not quite sure what the problem was with the gear. With all the
glitches just getting airborne, I was a bit apprehensive as I descended
into the pattern at RHP. But there wasn't any problem after that first
takeoff. It did feel a bit odd each time they came down, with the airplane
wanting to yaw right a tad. Perhaps they were coming down asymetrically? I
let the owner know when I got back and he's checking it out.

Hmm. I've only just recently started to fly a retract. But if I failed to
get the gear up as normal, I'm pretty sure I'd just land again and cancel
the flight. The 182RG POH has an emergency retract procedure, but if the
gear is already down and there's a nice runway right there...

Of course, one variable in my equation is that the 182RG has no backup in
case of a complete hydraulic loss. Lose all fluid, and you're going to
scratch the belly.

From what I understand, this lack is somewhat unusual.
