There is a bug I just found in the FDM generator (aeromatic). Change the three
lines in c182/c182rg.xml
from
<retractable>RETRACT</retractable>
to
<retractable>1</retractable>
and you will get an effect on the landing, and perhaps an effect on the
aerodynamics as well ( I just crashed to verify the landing and haven't
flown the model enough to tell about the aero )

I made the knob 2.5 cm thick and 5 cm in diameter. The lever is 12.5 cm
in diameter and ~15 cm long. Probably too long even though I embedded
about 1/3 of it in the panel. Can you get actual dimensions?

Since you've fixed this, please share :)
