Herb, me and your dad must be cut from the same cloth
When I had my frustrating gear fiasco two years ago (gear doors would stay open on retraction of gear) my mechanics were still scratching their heads and I needed to use the plane. So I flew a few missions this way...on departure (my mechanics keep a radio scanning in their shop) I called out "Cessna 336 N2131X departing runway 32"...they got a laugh but also got the point that I wanted my 337 back!!
Your numbers are right on the money, it cost me about 10 MPH as I recall.
