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.

I believe that the 172RG has a similar gear system to the 182RG.

Cycling the gear doesn't use up hydraulic fluid. It's stored back in the
reservoir for use at a later time.
