You can fly it that way, but I try to make it a point to not fly with the
gear horn on for more than a few seconds, if I have to dump the gear
and then pull it back up later I find that preferable to running with the
gear horn on.

The Cutlass may differ from the R182 in this respect, but I dislike cycling
the R182's gear any more than necessary. The system is hydraulic with no
backup in case one loses all the fluid.
