    Default Re: Dual latch pin door handles.

    Way back in the late 90's when I was contemplating my Kitfox buy , I took a trip to Idaho and visited Skystar to take a demo flight in the company Series 5 Outback. Took notes during the flight and one negative note was the door with a single bottom center door catch. I could push my elbow on the rear of the door and see daylight as it flexed and opened. Didn't like that a bit ,so here is my dual pin latch system-the door will not accidentally open and is very secure. Also can be locked as you can see in the photos, by using simple drawer latch hardware available at Home Depot (aircraft aisle). Finally figured out how to send pictures.Bruce N199CL
