REFLECTOR: Gear doors

[jerry at jlbent.com]

If I am seeing it correctly, that is a variation on the old factory
solution.  Your's looks much nicer.  For those that might be interested,
the old manual suggested hinging the other side of the flap onto the
fuselage and it then slides under the main gear door part attached to the
gear leg.  No spring, but they suggest a thin metal (alum.) strip from the
outside edge of the door to go under the main gear door.

Now they suggest neither.  Just let it be a cockpit exhaust opening.  I
personally don't like the look of a hole in the side of the fuselage.

I'm sure it won't add any speed, but I added a hinge and spring to allow
the very bottom of my gear doors to completely close. Pictures attached.
