You definitely want the interlock installed. My Cessna has a similar door
handle and can easily be pulled. But on the Cessna, the door is basically
impossible to open inflight.
With the gullwing doors of a Velocity, if the door is unlatched, it WILL
open. And then things get VERY interesting.
To simplify things, I made a ramp with my interlock. That way it only has
to be lifted when opening the door latch. Then again, my door latch system
is somewhat... different. :-)
