Here's a comparison of well known, and not so well known GA retractable singles from 2014. Given all the debate about the next release, I thought it might be of interest to all the GA fans in this community. It makes for some very interesting reading, I think.

If the engine-driven fuel pump failed, the pilot had only to use one of his left hands to pump while using the other left hand to fly.
