 Marv, do you have a link to this thing?
 
 ON my airplane the gear doors as originally installed would bang around in
flight.  Problem solved by stronger spring and tape around the seal.   No
cables.

[Hi Colyn,  No link, just information from a well-respected Lancairian who is using them and suggested their use on another project.  I'm just trying to find out where and when they came from.    Thanks for the info.   <Marv>   ]

   On my IV-P I use on spring at the rear of the cear door and one at the
front
  and have never had a problem. No cables.

  [Thanks for the prompt reply, Wendell... you pretty much confirmed what I
thought. I'm still curious about where this cable operated assist came from.

    Is the use of a cable-assisted closing mechanism something standard on the
  main gear doors of LIVs now?  I thought the beefed up springs (now two, was
  one in the early days, if memory serves) took care of most of the gear door
  problems.  Is the mechanical cable actuator an option from Lancair or an
  after-market add-on from a third party?  Any answers will be appreciated.
 TIA
