Default Cherokee 235 vs Trinidad vs Comanche

Here again I'm going on what I've read. "Clearly identified" isn't the
point--my understanding is that both the engine controls and the
flap/gear handles are reversed from a standard setup.



Flap and gear are different from others, engine controls are standard.



Ah. OK, half of what I'd heard was true. I think I could certainly live w/
the gear & flaps in "different" places--the thought of reversed engine
controls was a deal breaker, but that's apparently not true.

On the gear/flaps--I'm guessing you got used to that pretty quickly and
never give it a second thought. I seem to recall reading somewhere about
that contributing to gear-up on the runway (during a T&G?) or something. I
guess that would only apply to someone brand-new to the airplane or someone
switching between airplanes.

Good food for thought. Thanks!

You get used to what you're flying. Personally I like everything to the
left of the yoke, except the gear. That way I can fiddle with anything
I want at any time while telling myself to "stay left of the yoke."
