On recent = trip in my new (50 hr.) 360, a misadjustment prevented my left inner gear d= oor closing.  I elected to continue and gradually increased speed, see= med the faster I went the smoother it got.  Finished trip (900 mi.) at= 200 mph.  No apparent damage to the door.  Query=E2=80=94at what= speeds do gear doors depart?  I have used 135 mph as max gear down sp= eed=E2=80=94Now thinking 160 might be ok if needed to get down quick. = Anyone know the answer?

 

Getting ou= t of front hinge canopy with a parachute?  I haven=E2=80=99t tried it,= but my guess is you would need to get inverted and slow way down to push i= t open.  If rides about 2 inches open if opened in flight.  Don= =E2=80=99t try to close it in flight unless you have a good pull strap and = on autopilot.

 

Finally, h= as anyone gotten a Dynon Skyview autopilot tuned for vertical hold without = hunting?  If so please send me your settings.  Ed Gray  = ;  Dallas
