Roland thanks,
actually it wasnt that bad just a loud "clack" on opening the door. The
door would open fine if I just pressed down on the top between the doors or
up on the inside of the door. However I thought it was interesting and
worth sharing. I will file it down a bit when I get round to it.
The prop pitch issue argues that if you set the pitch stop for Florida you
wont develop full take off power on a cold day in Alaska which is
potentially a safety issue. Luckily I was taking off from long paved
runways on my trip round the gulf but even so the engine sounded labored
under take off power 37" MAP at 5200.
