Just this week my gear breaker popped after takeoff, and it was very apparent that it did. Not because some light blinked or horn beeped. But because it was climbing like a wallowing pig with the doors open. I would never like to experience that with an engine out.

I would think this especially so in those aircraft that have the older style single engine driven hydraulic pump, when that engine goes.

Your analogy is correct.
