Performance after failure of engine on takeoff, and SE procedures (was SE T/O Perf)

I rather doubt the gear doors contribute much drag other than during transition. It certainly will not assist in climb other than the weight reduction.

If it were an important as one is led to believe then why did Cessna put them on in the first place?

Since there is superficial drag with the wheels down why not transition the gear at during cruise transition at 1k ft?

You can reduce drag by obtaining a wing removal kit ;>)
