I have had my velocity XLRG up to 165 kts with the gear down but no rear
gear doors on.  I was wondering why the plane wasn't reaching cruse speed
after leveling out of climb only to discover that the gear was still down.
Rookie mistake in a retractable.  Tim 

 

Alright; there's a data point for the nose gear doors strong enough and main
gear down OK at that speed when locked down.  Anyone want to try extending
them at that speed?
