RE: Door hinges.
If you believe stronger hinges are needed=2C keep in mind that you will rip
out the fiberglass in the cabin top or door tang instead of the hinge fail
ing and maybe causing some minor cracking which is easily repaired.
During start and run up if you insist on leaving the door open=2C stronger
hinges may be OK but you better lay some extra glass on the top.
I've replaced three sprung or lost doors over the last five years. He who
had the stronger hinges paid more to have the top of the aircraft repaired
=2C vs replacing the door.
The hing material is MS 20001-5. Available at Aircraft Spruce.
