You NEED to keep the turtle deck on, especially on a I, II or III.
The bearing at the control arm is critical to keep the flapperons from fluttering.
Speed has never been an issue flying with the doors open. I would caution against slipping towards an open door with just one door open. Make sure that nothing will blow away when slipping with both doors open.

Yes, even your headset.I would caution against slipping towards an open door with just one door open. Make sure that nothing will blow away when slipping with both doors open.

Anybody have a photo of the turtledeck flaperon bushing arrangement? Don't recall one on my Model 2.
I dont have any photo's of my old model 2 flaperon bushings, but, the guy that bought my model 2 lives near Claremont NH, if you get over that way, if you want his info pm me

Thanks,

Hello,
I could open my doors (KF3, 582, Prop left turn) but they will close slowly itself. Which liftstruts you have mount, how many newton?
I don't have bubbledoors, above my doors could'nt arise an underpressure between door and wing to keep the door open!?
Thanks!
