I don't believe my early (1965) "Owner's Manual" clarifies the gear operating speed when down, however it clearly states 140 MPH (not KIAS) for "gear operation". Interesting that when they went to knots on the later machines it was still "140". The main gear actuators are different as the model progressed, I believe, so perhaps that is why? Plus also the hydraulic power packs are different.

Actually, that relates to something that we don't talk about, but it happened in the Bahamas. You know, what happens in the Bahamas stays in the Bahamas. Las Wages actually borrowed it from them. I'll tell you something else. There is now a rule in the Bahamas that you can not over fly land below 2000 feet.
And think about this, at 210 mph, you are actually travelling at 308 feet per second.
