gear retraction
I don't think there is a precise rule that fits all circumstances. Generally speaking I retract when I hit 1000 ft. There is no reason to do it sooner. I prefer to get over to departure and making sure all is working smoothly. Gear is on the bottom of the "to do list". Flaps come up soon as I settle into a climb attitude.
This gives me a chance to monitor the gear retraction and insure the pump does not burn itself out.
