Hey Y'all,
working on my next video piece "fixed gear airplanes vs. retractable gear airplanes".
Please share your opinion on the major differences in terms of Looks, Cost, Performance, and Ease of flying.
Generally speaking retracts would cost more to operate and maintain, but they are faster because of the 'drag' factor. No tricycles holding down the airplane. And retracts do look sexier IMO. Curious anyone who's owned both, what were the difference in cost with maintenance and insurance?
Please share specifics. Thanks.
