REFLECTOR: Emailing: Nose door operator

[John Dibble]

That looks like a great system.  When raising, do the springs hold the
door open until the wheel is above the doors, or do the doors hang loose
at some time?  When lowering does the wheel push the doors open, or the
spring, or do the doors open by gravity?
