&gt; &gt;&gt;&nbsp; <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; I think it has to do with the new style of flying --
slower, and especially trying to keep the down lines no faster than the
horizontal lines.&nbsp; Dirty airframes provide more drag.&nbsp; Also, no
retracts leads to less mechanical complexity, and one less point of
failure.&nbsp; But, I think the drag thingy is the main point...<br>

&gt; &gt;&gt; Hi All,<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Long time lurker on this message board. Wanted to ask why
modern <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; pattern planes don't have retracts? There's no doubt a
good reason <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; that no one uses them anymore. Just curious why...I like
the looks of a plane with the gear tucked away.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; <br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Thanks in advance for any replies,<br>
