REFLECTOR: Speedbrake, descents, and shock cooling.

[steve korney]

I didn't see any other changes... The reason I took them off was because one 
of the brackets started to crack away from the gear leg and I was worried 
that it might come off and go through the prop...  That would have spoiled 
my whole day... That's when I lost the three kts... And, that's all I 
noticed... That's the way it still flys now...

Best... Steve

Did you notice any change in engine temps, handling, cabin cooling or cabin
noise when you took the doors off? Am wondering if there's more of an impact
than just speed loss.
