Additionally, in real life, haven't really had too much go wrong other than a couple of flap failures (to retract (or extend for that matter)).
Flying around San Antonio, TX, almost got clipped but some butthole that wasn't looking for traffic. Was on final for runway 28 at macon
downtown, in macon, GA, (i was doing pattern work) when some shmuck from delta academy shows up on final for 10 without ever
making a call on the unicom to let anybody know what he was doing. But other than that, I've been fortunate :-D unlike C210
I did have a pair of friends who were doing a multi time builder in a beat up old piece of work Duchess from somewhere up in Mass. They
flew it all the way down to Virginia, and on final for LYH, couldn't get the gears to extend. Did an emergency extension and landed. Found
out the motors were shot and had to be replaced. Got em replaced, and took off 2 days later to continue their time builder. Took off, went
to the practice area to verify the gear motors work, they didn't. Did another emergency gear extend, landed back at LYH. The owner didn't
want anything else done, so the two of them had to get a ferry permit and had to fly the plane with the gears extended all the back to
mass
