Your response shows you are totally unfamiliar with a 195 and its well known gear box failure which is extremely expensive to repair. Flying a 195 is far different from flying anything else you've named. I've owned a 195, three 140s, flown a 180 quite a it. The 195 is very susceptible to side loading , much more so than the others mentioned. They even offered it with a gimbled gear to try and counteract this. All you have to do is look at the airplane head on and the answer is apparent. If you ground loop one, even gentley, it's prone to collapse. Again tom, your wrong. I should add here that I watched a delta captain collapse a 195s gear in Cambridge maryland a few years back. He had a 195 on floats and had purchased this one for parts and was flying it home to Maine. A ten mile an hour cross wind, he lost it, ground looped it, gear collapsed. He admitted 90 percent of his 195 time was on floats.
